Monterrey vs América - Team news

Los Rayados will have a lot to deal with prior to this game, as they will need to survive América's visit with a major number of absences. Fernando Ortíz will have to make do without several players, who have been hit hard with injuries all season. Despite that, it will be interesting to see how Ortíz fields his side against his former club, which he led to three semifinal appearances in three tournaments, although all those eliminations had something to do with his questionable tactics under pressure.

On the other side of the pitch, América will also have to deal with some absences that involve key players, but their roster has proven to be quite effective when replacing some of their top performers. Due to these absences, América could welcome back Sebastián Cáceres in defense, although it is not clear if he will do so as a right back or as a center back. The rest of the team could be basically the same that defeated Santos last week.

Here is the list of unavailable footballers for this Liga MX clash.

Monterrey: Erick Aguirre, Jordi Cortizo, Rodrigo Aguirre, Edson Gutiérrez, Axel Grijalva, Germán Berterame, Sergio Canales, Joao Rojas, Stefan Medina, Jesús Manuel Corona (all injured).

América: Diego Valdés, Julián Quiñones, Nestor Araujo (injured); Kevin Álvarez (doubtful).
