Earlier in the week, it was reported that Nico Castillo could help alleviate some of Club América’s injury woes and make his return in this weekend’s Clásico Joven.

However, according to Azteca Deportes journalist Cesar Caballero, that will not happen. According to the tweet below, the Chilean will not be included in Miguel Herrera’s 18-man squad for their all-important clash against Cruz Azul.

With the international break upon us, there is little to no doubt that Castillo should return to the bench for América’s duel against Necaxa in two weeks.

Castillo has not been seen since he fractured his leg against Xolos in the third game of the 2019 Apertura season two months ago.

Since his January arrival from Benfica, Castillo has scored seven goals and provided two assists in 20 matches in all competitions.
