Not everyone was happy with the International break that ended yesterday. Club America's coach Antonio Mohamed complained about the recent FIFA Matchday, arguing it is "too soon" to have players traveling back and forth.
"We had ten absences during this break, so it was very difficult for me to practice. They are happy for playing with their National Teams, but you can't expect them to return in top shape," Mohamed stated in his weekly press conference.
After this break, some elite teams such as Germany, Netherlands and even Mexico had players coming down with injuries, since they are coming off a preseason and most local tournaments are starting.
Either way, the Argentinian coach will have most of his international players on the pitch next Saturday, because America is losing ground as leaders for the Apertura 2014 tournament.
"Even though we are now tied with Monterrey, I still look at the paper every morning and see our badge right there up top. I'm confident our lack of goals will be solved soon. Next Saturday against Universidad de Guadalajara we'll find a desperate team, and we have to work our way around that," Mohamed told the press.
America will have Rubens Sambueza returning to the starting eleven, having missed the team's last two games due to an injury to his right leg.
