Chivas faces roster setbacks ahead of Clásico Tapatío

Chivas de Guadalajara faces significant roster challenges ahead of the Clásico Tapatío against Atlas at Estadio Jalisco. The team's captain, Luis Romo, is likely to miss the match due to a muscle injury in his left femoral biceps sustained while playing for the Mexican National Team. While the exact recovery duration is still being determined, reports suggest he could be sidelined for several weeks.

In addition to Romo's absence, Omar Govea will miss the derby due to suspension. Forward Ángel Sepúlveda expressed the team's determination to defend their prestige during the rivalry, noting that opponents are often highly motivated when playing against Chivas. Sepúlveda also offered public support to goalkeeper José 'Tala' Rangel following recent errors during international duty, emphasizing that the squad stands behind their teammates.
