Alex Zendejas is reportedly moving closer to making his first appearance of 2026.
Zendejas returned to Club America training on Tuesday after a lengthy absence due to lingering muscle injuries, Mexican outlet Estadio Deportes reported. The American winger had been out of action since late-November, last featuring against Monterrey on Nov. 29 in the Liga MX Playoffs.
It is undetermined if Zendejas will make his Clausura debut on Saturday against Necaxa, but he could be back for February’s CONCACAF Champions Cup opener against Olimpia.
Zendejas played a key role once again for Club America during the Apertura season, scoring six goals and adding three assists in 16 league appearances. He also scored once in Champions Cup action last year, and added one assist in Leagues Cup play.
The 27-year-old has scored 50 goals in 173 appearances for the Eagles since joining from Necaxa in January 2022. He has amassed 290 appearances in his club career to date, which also featured stops at FC Dallas, Chivas, and Zacatepec.
Zendejas’ productive time at Club America has led to him earning 13 caps for the U.S. men’s national team to date in all competitions. He last featured in Mauricio Pochettino’s squad last September against Japan.
Club America is winless in its first three Liga MX matches of 2026.
