USMNT's Alejandro Zendejas Set to Return for Club América's Apertura 2025 Finale
Alejandro Zendejas, winger for both the United States Men's National Team (USMNT) and Club América, has fully recovered from the muscle injury he sustained during the October international window while representing the USMNT. This injury kept him out of the last three league matches.
After completing full training sessions this week, the 27-year-old is ready to play in Saturday's regular-season finale against Toluca. His return comes as Club América prepares for the upcoming playoffs.
Injury Management and Team Updates
Head coach André Jardine is expected to carefully manage Zendejas’ playing time to avoid any further injury, especially after an earlier setback against Cruz Azul that forced Zendejas off just 18 minutes into his return.
Meanwhile, Isaías Violante remains sidelined, likely out until the playoffs while recovering from a muscle injury. The 21-year-old has not appeared since Club América's 3–0 win over Santos on Matchday 12 and continues to train separately from the main squad.
Captain Henry Martín is also still recovering and has not played 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."
"Head coach André Jardine is likely to manage his minutes carefully to prevent another setback after his earlier recurrence against Cruz Azul, when he was forced off just 18 minutes into his return."
"Isaías Violante is almost certainly ruled out until the playoffs as he continues recovering from a muscle injury."
Summary
Zendejas is set to return in the season finale after recovering from injury; meanwhile, Violante and Martín remain sidelined as Club América prepares for playoffs.
