This Saturday, January 16, starting at 7 p.m., Cruz Azul will seek his first win of the year, when it receives the Puebla club at the Azteca stadium, in a match valid for match day 2 of the Liga MX Guard1anes 2021 tournament. The meeting will be his home debut in this championship.
For now, Juan Reynoso has a full squad to take on this challenge: he no longer has any footballers infected with COVID-19, nor does he have injuries, waiting only for Guillermo Fernández and finally Bryan Angulo, who, according to the latest information, will stay with the institution, to qualify against Liga MX.
Anyway, the coach’s intention, with so few weeks of training, is not to put so many surprises into the starting line-up, since he has not yet managed to translate his idea to the celestial players. The same Puebla is an old acquaintance for Reynoso, who led the club less than a month ago.
Everything indicates that Cruz Azul’s starting eleven against the Camoteros will be there José de Jesús Corona; Juan Escobar, Pablo Aguilar, Julio Domínguez, Adrián Aldrete; Ignacio Rivero, Rafael Baca; Luis Romo, Yoshimar Yotún, Orbelín Pineda; Jonathan Rodriguez.
This is how Cruz Azul will form against Puebla. (Go blue)
It is expected that Pablo Ceppelini will be left out of the call to continue looking for a new club, and that the three loans are not yet qualified to add minutes in the First Division.
Has the benefit of the doubt
