Chicharito and Alan Mozo Rejoin Chivas Squad
Javier Hernández, known as Chicharito, and Alan Mozo have both made successful recoveries from their injuries. This development allows Chivas’ head coach, Gabriel Milito, to include them in the lineup for the crucial match against Pachuca.
Injury Returns
After weeks of absence, both players are set to contribute to the team again. Mozo has been out since the FIFA international window in September. He underwent surgery for a meniscus injury. After nearly two months, he is ready to return as the Apertura 2025 season comes to a close.
Chicharito’s situation is similarly promising. He last played on October 18, when Chivas secured a victory over Mazatlán. Unfortunately, he picked up a muscular injury following that match, sidelining him for three subsequent games. Now, he is prepared to make an impact in the pivotal clash against Pachuca.
Additional Squad Updates
Another noteworthy return is that of Richard Ledezma. He missed the recent Clásico Tapatío due to a suspension from receiving two yellow cards. He is now back in the squad, ready to add depth to the offense at Estadio Hidalgo.
