Raphael Veiga
31-Year-Old
América
Liga MX
Plays in friendly
Veiga (ankle) was in the starting lineup for an unofficial matchup versus Cruz Azul on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Veiga was apparently dealing with a slight blow considering he missed only one game and managed to see a significant role in the practice match. He's now expected to take part in a rotation as one of three standout creative forces on the Azulcrema squad alongside Alejandro Zendejas and Carlos Alvarez. However, if there's no place for all of them in the attacking midfield line, the Brazilian seems to be the likeliest to make way in the long term. Outside of a one-goal and two-assist performance in August, he has yet to make a decisive impact despite racking up shots and crosses throughout the season.
