Omar Govea returns to Chivas squad for Puebla clash
Chivas captain Omar Govea has been included in the squad for the away game against Puebla after recovering from a muscle injury.
Chivas are preparing for their first away match of the Apertura 2026 tournament, with a key boost ahead of the clash against Puebla: the return of captain Omar Govea.
The midfielder missed the previous match against Juarez due to a muscle injury, a notable absence for coach Gabriel Milito's tactical setup. Govea remains a central figure for the team, providing leadership and maintaining the necessary balance between defense and attack.
Following a successful recovery process throughout the week, the coaching staff included Govea in the traveling squad. However, it is expected that he will start the match on the bench, with the possibility of earning minutes depending on the game's development at the Estadio Cuauhtemoc.
Additionally, full-backs Richard Ledezma and Bryan Gonzalez have also made the trip. Both players experienced minor physical discomfort during training sessions earlier in the week, but medical evaluations confirmed no serious issues, leaving them available for selection as Chivas hunt for their first away points of the season.
