Disciplinary Committee Overturns Ramón Juárez’s Expulsion at América
The Disciplinary Committee has overturned the red card issued to Ramón Juárez, a defender for Club América. This decision comes after the team appealed the initial verdict following his expulsion during the match against Atlético de San Luis on January 16, 2026.
Details of the Incident
Juárez received the red card in the 19th minute for a tackle deemed a foul on Juan Manuel Sanabria. The referee, Vicente Reynoso, ruled it as preventing a clear goal-scoring opportunity. However, many analysts believed the decision was incorrect. Despite the option to review the situation via VAR, the referee upheld his initial ruling.
Eligibility to Play
With the red card rescinded, Juárez is now eligible to play in the upcoming match against Pachuca. He is expected to travel with the team on Saturday afternoon and may see action if Coach André Jardine chooses to utilize him.
Team Dynamics and Coaching Confidence
Amidst a rocky start to the Clausura 2026, André Jardine retains the full support of the club’s owner and management. Despite rumors regarding his future, sources indicate that the organization is committed to seeing Jardine through the tournament.
- The team plans to assess performance after the season.
- Club America’s early season results have raised concerns, but patience remains high.
Injury Updates
Unfortunately, Alejandro Zendejas is set to miss his third consecutive match due to a muscle injury. However, he is slated to potentially return on January 31 against Necaxa.
Henry Martín’s status will be evaluated prior to the match against Pachuca, while Erick Sánchez has recovered and is expected to play. Manager Jardine is anticipated to make at least three or four changes to the starting lineup after the recent defeat.
Conclusion
The overturning of Ramón Juárez’s expulsion is a welcome relief for Club América. As they prepare for their next match, the team aims to regain momentum and aim for a stronger performance in the league.
