USMNT's Alejandro Zendejas Returns for Club América's Apertura 2025 Finale
Alejandro Zendejas, winger for both the USMNT and Club América, has fully recovered from a muscle injury suffered during the October international window while representing the United States. This injury had kept him out of the last three league matches.
After training at full strength this week, Zendejas is set to make his return in Saturday’s Apertura 2025 regular season finale against Toluca. The 27-year-old’s comeback is timed as América prepares for the playoffs.
Coach’s Plan for Zendejas
Head coach André Jardine is expected to manage Zendejas’s playing time carefully to avoid a recurrence. This caution follows an earlier setback when Zendejas was forced off the field just 18 minutes into his return against Cruz Azul.
Other Injury Updates
- Isaías Violante, aged 21, is unlikely to return until the playoffs as he continues recovering from a muscle injury. He has not played since América's 3–0 victory over Santos on Matchday 12 and remains in separate training.
- Captain Henry Martín also remains sidelined, having missed all matches since Matchday 8 against Chivas.
“The 27-year-old winger, who missed several weeks with a muscle injury sustained on USMNT duty in October, has recovered fully and could feature as América fine-tune ahead of the playoffs.”
Summary: Alejandro Zendejas has recovered and will return for Club América's season finale, with the coach planning cautious minutes to safeguard the winger ahead of the playoffs.
