Erik Lira

ANALYSIS
Lira has rejoined the squad after his transfer to Monaco was frustrated in the final day of the transfer window. However, he only resumed training sessions for a few days prior to the weekend match and will come off the bench before taking over a starting spot from either Amaury Garcia in the back line or Angel Marquez in midfield. While it remains to be seen if the emotional blow of failing to secure a move to Europe after the World Cup will affect his performance, Lira should eventually feature as a pivotal element in midfield duels and ball distribution for the Cementeros.
