Chivas Depart for Leagues Cup Without Hernández and Tapias

Gabriel Milito confirmed Javier Hernández’s soleus injury and Miguel Tapias’s calf issues have prevented both from traveling to New York. The 30-player roster combines first-team regulars like Efraín Álvarez and Roberto Alvarado with three promoted academy talents. Seventeen-year-olds Gael García and Samir Inda and reserve-team starter Sergio Aguayo will make their senior tournament debuts. Chivas open group play against New York Red Bulls on July 31, then face Charlotte FC on August 3 and FC Cincinnati on August 7. With Hernández and Tapias remaining in Guadalajara to rehabilitate, Chivas aim to leverage squad depth to advance beyond the group stage for the first time.
