Chivas has no choice but to win if they want to remain in the top 4 of the standings and qualify directly to the Quarterfinals of the Clausura 2023, which is why Veljko Paunovic made several adjustments to his roster, a couple of them forced, to receive Cruz Azul this Saturday night.
What are the main changes from the previous call-up?
- Gilberto Orozco Chiquete will not be able to play against La Máquina, as he will have to serve a one-match suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card of the tournament.
- Roberto Alvarado was also not considered, as it was decided to give him differentiated work in the last few days so that he could recover from muscle fatigue.
- Zahid Muñoz and Sergio Flores are in the 21-player roster to face La Máquina; they reappear after having been considered for the Rebaño Tour of California in March.
