After successfully advancing to the next stage of the Concacaf Champions Cup, Tigres UANL has turned its focus to their next match against Cruz Azul this Sunday. The Brazilian player Rómulo Zwarg is questionable for the game due to a muscle issue in his right leg that worsened during the previous match against Santos, which caused him to miss the recent encounter against Forge FC in the Concachampions.

On Wednesday, following a return to training at the CET, Rómulo took part in a separate recovery session with the physiotherapists while the team worked on their fitness. Those players who started against Forge FC engaged in light recovery exercises at the gym, whereas substitutes participated in physical training and soccer drills on the field. This training regimen reflects Tigres' efforts to maintain their players' well-being ahead of the crucial match.

Tigres is set to visit Cruz Azul at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc in Puebla this Sunday. Notably, for the Clausura 2026 season, Cruz Azul has relocated to this stadium, having lost the ability to play at the Olímpico Universitario of Pumas. The match holds significance not only for its implications in the tournament but also for the adjustments Cruz Azul has made in terms of their home ground, marking a new chapter for the team and its supporters.
