Cruz Azul aims to beat Atlante at the Coloso de Santa Úrsula, but Carlos Rotondi is out due to physical issues. The Argentine did not enter the call-up of the Celestial team after presenting physical problems during the last training sessions, so Joel Huiqui will not be able to count on one of his most habitual footballers. The technical body preferred not to take a risk on the Argentine, who was ruled out for the commitment at the Banorte Stadium. Another of the names that generates uncertainty is that of Amaury García. The footballer is in doubt and, although he is not completely ruled out, it looks very complicated that he can add minutes in front of the Potros de Hierro. Despite the absences, the objective of Cruz Azul does not change. The Machine will seek to beat Atlante to maintain a perfect pace in the Apertura 2026 and reach nine points out of nine possible. The Celestial team will try to extend its good moment in the Coloso de Santa Úrsula, where it aspires to achieve its third consecutive victory and continue to strengthen its championship start under the command of Joel Huiqui. With its current streak of three consecutive wins, Cruz Azul is in a good position in the table, with 6 points and a streak of 3W-0D-1L in its last four games. In the Apertura 2026, Cruz Azul is in fourth place in the table, one point behind the leaders of Club Tijuana. In its last game, Cruz Azul suffered a 1-2 defeat against Atlante FC, but remains one of the main contenders for the title. In its next game, Cruz Azul will face Club Tijuana in a crucial duel for both teams.
