Chivas de Guadalajara roster challenges

Overview

Chivas de Guadalajara has faced ongoing roster difficulties due to various injuries and suspensions during the Apertura 2026 Liga MX tournament.

In early October, the team dealt with the absence of captain Luis Romo, who sustained a muscle injury in his left femoral biceps, and a suspension for Omar Govea. Forward Ángel Sepúlveda expressed the squad’s determination to maintain their prestige despite these setbacks.

By late October, the club continued to manage player availability ahead of a match against Necaxa. Brian Gutiérrez and Ángel Sepúlveda were ruled out due to muscle discomfort, though the specific nature of Sepúlveda’s injury remained undisclosed. Meanwhile, Miguel Gómez was cleared to return, and players including Luis Romo and Omar Govea entered the final stages of rehabilitation.

On October 20, Chivas ended a four-game winless streak with a 1-0 victory against Necaxa at Estadio Akron during Matchday 13. The match was decided in the 77th minute when a low cross from Roberto ‘Piojo’ Alvarado was deflected into the net by Necaxa defender Agustín Oliveros for an own goal. Goalkeeper Raúl ‘Tala’ Rangel secured the clean sheet with several key saves, particularly during a critical period in the second half. This victory moved Chivas to second place in the standings with 23 points, trailing leader Club América by a single point.
