📆 Club León kick off pre-season preparations | OneFootball

Eduardo Berizzo has led his first training session with an incomplete group, but with several matches on the horizon as preparation for the Apertura 2025.

Club León has begun its preseason ahead of the 2025/26 season under the guidance of Argentine coach Eduardo 'Toto' Berizzo, who conducted his first session with a group made up of 17 first-team players and five youth players from the Under-23 squad.

The session took place at the 'La Esmeralda' complex, where the main absences were the players called up to their national teams: James Rodríguez (Colombia), Jhonder Cádiz (Venezuela), Nicolás Fonseca (Uruguay), and Rodrigo Echeverría (Chile).

Stiven Barreiro and Steven Mendoza, meanwhile, have special permission to report at a later date.

Alfonso Blanco, for his part, has been working separately after recently undergoing surgery on his right arm. And Fernando “Nene” Beltrán, the brand-new signing from Chivas, has already joined the team and worked out in the gym with his new teammates.

‘La Fiera’ begins its preparations while awaiting reinforcements and with participation in the Copa Morelos on the horizon. The first match will be on Friday, June 20 against Cruz Azul, while on Sunday, June 22—depending on the result—they will play against Chivas or Atlante.
