USMNT’s Alejandro Zendejas Returns for Club América’s Apertura 2025 Finale
Alejandro Zendejas, winger for the USMNT and Club América, has recovered from a muscle injury sustained during the October international window while representing the United States. This injury kept him out for the last three league matches.
After training at full strength this week, Zendejas is set to make his return in Saturday’s final regular-season match against Toluca.
Injury Details and Recovery
The 27-year-old winger suffered a muscle injury on USMNT duty in October, causing him to miss several weeks of play. His recovery is complete, allowing him to potentially feature as Club América prepare for the playoffs.
Head coach André Jardine is expected to carefully manage Zendejas' playing time to avoid another injury, especially considering a previous setback against Cruz Azul, where Zendejas had to leave the field after only 18 minutes upon his return.
Other Player Injury Updates
- Isaías Violante, 21, remains sidelined and is unlikely to return until the playoffs as he continues rehabilitation from a muscle injury. He has not played since América’s 3–0 victory over Santos on Matchday 12 and is still training separately from the team.
- Captain Henry Martín is also out, having missed every match since Matchday 8 against Chivas.
"After returning to full training this week, he’s ready to feature in Saturday’s season finale against Toluca."
"Head coach André Jardine is likely to manage his minutes carefully to prevent another setback."
