Rotondi a doubt for the return leg against América
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. The Machine could suffer another loss. Rodolfo Rotondi is a doubt for the Semifinal return leg between Cruz Azul and América due to discomfort in his right knee that prevented him from training normally this Saturday. The physical problem arose after a defensive clearance in the first leg, when he tried to stop Javairo Dilrosun. Although he succeeded, the movement caused him discomfort that has persisted since then. RÉCORD reported that the player was seen at the hotel with a bandage and a knee brace, which reinforces the uncertainty about whether he will be able to be in the starting lineup. The final decision will be made on Sunday itself, before the start of the match. If Rotondi doesn't play, he would join the losses of Andrés Montaño and Gabriel Fernández. So far, he has been a key player for Cruz Azul, with 17 matches played in the Clausura 2025, four goals and three assists. 📸 Manuel Velasquez - 2025 Getty Images
