Alejandro Zendejas Returns for Club América’s Apertura 2025 Finale
USMNT and Club América winger Alejandro Zendejas has fully recovered from the muscle injury sustained during the October international window while representing the United States. The issue kept him out of the last three league games, but after resuming full training this week, he is ready to make his return for Saturday’s regular season finale against Toluca.
The 27-year-old missed several weeks due to the injury but is now back as Club América prepare for the playoffs. Head coach André Jardine plans to manage his minutes cautiously to avoid another setback, especially after his previous recurrence against Cruz Azul, when he had to leave the pitch just 18 minutes into his comeback.

- Alejandro Zendejas: Fully recovered and expected to play versus Toluca.
