Chino Huerta may return to Pumas squad against Leon

Forward Cesar Huerta, known as 'Chino', is closing in on his return to the Pumas squad. Fans are eager to see the forward make his debut in his second stint with the club, as his presence is expected to provide a significant boost to the attack managed by Esteban Solari.

Pumas host Leon this Thursday at the Estadio Olimpico Universitario, a venue that could serve as the perfect setting for Huerta to represent the club again following his time in Europe with Belgian side Anderlecht.

The player has officially received his international transfer certificate, making him eligible for selection. Having trained with the first team in recent weeks to regain match fitness, he is now in contention for the squad. However, a starting role is not guaranteed given his recent inactivity in Europe and limited playing time during the World Cup with Mexico.

For Esteban Solari, whose team has yet to secure a home win this tournament, Huerta's inclusion offers a much-needed lift. Following the clash with Leon, Pumas faces a challenging schedule with a trip to Guadalajara to face Chivas on Sunday.
