The doubts are over: Chivas will have Armando “Hormiga” González and Bryan “Cotorro” González, two of its key players, to face Atlas. Among the 22 players chosen by Gabriel Milito, Alan Pulido returns to the squad, and Javier “Chicharito” Hernández is ruled out for the second consecutive day. In addition to Richard Ledezma due to a one-game suspension. After leaving the match against Querétaro with discomfort, both starting players in Gabriel Milito’s eleven will be eligible for the Clásico Tapatío this Saturday, October 25 at the AKRON Stadium. In the current Apertura 2025 tournament, forward “Hormiga” González has 7 goals, while left winger “Cotorro” González has scored 2 goals and given 1 assist. “Armando is our new starter now, it seems to me that he has all the conditions to fight for the scoring title. Taking advantage of those opportunities that were had against Querétaro, it seems to me that they would have brought him closer, but now he has a revenge, he is a very professional player, he is a player who does not lower his arms and will surely go out tomorrow to eat up the field to seek his revenge. He is our reference now in the area and he is lucky, that angel, and he has the goal,” commented the midfielder Omar Govea. ‘Chicharito’, in recovery Javier “Chicharito” Hernández was not considered in the call for the Clásico Tapatío to continue with dosed work, according to the club’s report. Like Alan Mozo, who is in the process of recovering from his meniscus surgery on his knee. Meanwhile, Isaac Brizuela and Luis Olivas were left out of the call due to a technical decision.
