Overview

• Liga MX registration makes José Juan Macías and Alan Medina immediately eligible for selection on August 24 at Estadio Olímpico Universitario, with lineup decisions up to Efraín Juárez.
• Macías has not played an official match since January 20, while Medina arrives with recent minutes in the Apertura and Leagues Cup for Querétaro.
• Left back Álvaro Angulo is available after completing a two-match suspension from the Disciplinary Commission.
• Players cite raised standards from arrivals such as Keylor Navas, Aaron Ramsey and Álvaro Angulo, and Jorge Ruvalcaba says only a championship satisfies as he touts his best form.
• Former coach José Luis Sánchez Solá criticizes the signing of Macías and Pumas' reliance on foreign players, fueling scrutiny of the club's recruitment strategy ahead of the Puebla match.
