Chivas Announces Positive Update on Luis Romo for Atlas Friendly Match

Chivas have shared encouraging news about midfielder Luis Romo ahead of the friendly in Los Angeles. The club confirmed he traveled with the squad for the Atlas friendly match.

Romo’s current condition

Romo suffered a relapse in his injury during the game against Toluca. The setback originally suggested about a month out of action.

Club images showed him at the airport. That prompted a positive update among supporters.

What a friendly could mean

Because the game is an exhibition, the technical staff can manage minutes carefully. Controlled, short appearances are possible without match pressure.

There is no limit on substitutions in friendlies. If Romo gets minutes, he could be closer to returning for Liga MX against Pumas next week.

Medical clearance and team dynamics

Another explanation is that Romo joined to maintain locker-room cohesion. He is considered a leader in the dressing room.

The coaching staff must still confirm any playing time. Fans remain uncertain if he has full medical clearance.

Tapatío prospects called up

Coach Gabriel Milito included three promising Tapatío players in the roster. Leo Jiménez and Daniel Villaseca have stood out during Clausura 2026.

Sergio Aguayo also earned a call. He was added to cover for Armando González, who is with the Mexican national team.

These youngsters could gain valuable minutes with the first team. The friendly will serve as a stage for them to prove their readiness.
