Club America will travel to Leon to face Club Leon at the Nou Camp this Wednesday, August 22, 2018, for a game in the sixth round of matches in the Liga MX 2018 Apertura. Club America manager Miguel Herrera held a press conference this Tuesday and leaked the starting lineup that he will use against La Fiera.
"Paul (Aguilar) ya va a estar para el fin de semana, el once es el mismo, solo sale Luis Reyes y entra Carlos Vargas. Van: Marchesín; Sánchez, Bruno, Edson, Vargas; Mateus, Guido, Lainez, Ibargüen; Oribe y Roger".🦅 pic.twitter.com/XmRNuIbtWh

The starting 11 will consist of Augustin Marchesin in net with the back four of Jorge Sanchez, Bruno Valdez, Edson Alvarez and Carlos Vargas. The midfield will feature Guido Rodriguez and Mateus Uribe down the middle with Diego Lainez and Andres Ibarguen on the wings. Finally, the attack will be made up of the strike partnership between team captain Oribe Peralta and Liga MX rookie Roger Martinez.
The lineup is the same that was used against Queretaro this past weekend except for Carlos Vargas replacing Luis Reyes in the left-back position. “Piojo” did also confirm that Paul Aguilar is still recovering from his injury and will not be available for this game against Los Panzas Verdes.
The lineup is a strong one, but can be unreliable down the wings with such young players like Jorge Sanchez, Carlos Vargas and Diego Lainez. Still, Club America does have a much better team than Los Esmeraldas and should be able to come away with the three points from the clash.
