Andre-Pierre Gignac News: In starting XI midweek

Gignac (knee) has made a surprising start in Wednesday's meeting with Atlas.

Gignac recovered from a knock in time to appear in the initial front line for the first time in the current Apertura campaign. While he likely won't last the full 90 minutes on the pitch, this boosts the veteran's value, as he could receive balls inside the box and also take penalties and direct free kicks. He previously scored one goal across 114 minutes in four substitute appearances this season.
