Club América Faces Injury Crisis Ahead of Oscar Perea Arrival

Club América opened the Apertura 2026 campaign with a hard‑fought win over Querétaro and a draw against Atlante, but injuries have already taken a toll. Forward Brian Rodríguez is sidelined with a left‑knee sprain, and Alejandro Zendejas is still regaining full fitness after the World Cup.

These absences leave coach Guillermo Almada scrambling for lineup solutions, while the prospective signing Oscar Perea is being evaluated for both left‑ and right‑wing roles. Perea’s eventual integration will be key to restoring the team’s attacking balance.
