Despite looking for a way out, Roger Martínez traveled with America for the match of day 2 against Ratllats
MEXICO – America closed its preparation to face Rayados this Saturday night and the novelty of the azulcrema picture is that Roger Martínez made the trip with the team and could have minutes with the azulcrema box, a situation that would close the doors to a negotiation in Mexican football, although the possibility of negotiating abroad would remain open.
The club keeps the Colombian striker in the squad, although since the previous tournament and after his participation in the CONCACAF Champions League his performance has aroused criticism and his departure from the club was in sight.
On the other hand, Emanuel Aguilera and Nicolás Benedetti also go with the team to the sultana of the North and are ready to play after overcoming their injury problems, both Aguilera and Benedetti worked hard throughout the week and hope to have their first minutes under the command of Santiago Solari.
In practice this Friday Santiago Solari worked with the same lineup last week, but also practiced two variants, the first was the inclusion of Emanuel Aguilera in place of Ramon Juarez in central defense and the another was that of Sebastian Cordova in place of Giovani Dos Santos; at the moment Solari does not have the 11 starters defined but must be ready on Saturday before going to the stadium.
It should be noted that the only confirmed absence for the American team is that of midfielder Pedro Aquino. The Peruvian suffers a muscle strain in his right leg and will be out of action for the clash against the Rayados waiting to be able to return to day 3 against the Braves de Juárez.
