Overview

• Javier Aguirre released a 23-player list on Friday for an Aug. 25–27 microcycle at the CAR, selecting only Liga MX footballers.
• The call includes several new or seldom-used faces and excludes recent regulars, with media noting absences such as Luis Ángel Malagón, Jesús Gallardo, Alexis Vega and Carlos Rodríguez.
• Gilberto Mora was not summoned to the senior camp because he was assigned to Eduardo Arce’s U-20 concentration, which also includes Obed Vargas and César Garza and features a friendly vs Pachuca before a World Cup group with Brazil, Spain and Morocco.
• Tijuana entered Friday’s home match vs Chivas off a 2–0 win at Pachuca with goals from Mora and Kevin Castañeda; kickoff was 21:00 (CDMX) at Estadio Caliente on FOX with streaming via Caliente TV and Tubi.
• Chivas traveled without Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernández and Alan Pulido due to muscle problems, turning to options including Armando González and Teun Wilke for attacking depth.
