The Chivas team is preparing to face Puebla at the Cuauhtémoc Stadium with a significant absence, that of player Roberto Alvarado. The player could not complete the last match against Necaxa due to an injury to his left leg, which forces him to miss Friday's game. Alvarado's injury has been diagnosed as a myofascial injury of the hamstring, so he has already begun his rehabilitation process and his return to the field will depend on his progress.
Alvarado's absence is significant for the team, as he has been a standout scorer so far in the Apertura 2024, ranking twelfth in the scoring table and being the top scorer for Chivas.
Before departing for Puebla, the team announced the call-up of Arturo Ortega, which included some surprises and the absence of the scorer. The players called up for the match are Raúl Rangel, Oscar Whalley, Alan Mozo, Gilberto Chiquete, Jesús Sánchez, José Castillo, Luis Rey, Leonardo Sepúlveda, Mateo Chávez, Víctor Guzmán, Omar Govea, Fernando Beltrán, Daniel Aguirre, Rubén González, Erick Gutiérrez, Pável Pérez, Isaac Brizuela, Ricardo Marín, Carlos Cisneros, Cade Cowell, Yael Padilla, Fidel Barajas, and Bruce El-Mesmari.
