Rayados to make their debut without Sergio Canales | OneFootball

Sergio Canales will not be available for the match between Monterrey and Pachuca in the first round of Liga MX.

Although his absence from training had already been reported, it was not officially confirmed until this Friday.

The match will also mark the debut of Domènec Torrent as the coach of Rayados in the local league.

For now, their only reinforcement is the Uruguayan goalkeeper Santiago Mele, who arrived for this tournament.

Canales is suffering from a muscle strain in his right leg and is expected to return next week.

Lucas Ocampos and Jordi Cortizo are also doubtful, although they might travel to Hidalgo to face Pachuca.

In Spain, Racing de Santander is looking to bring Canales back, but Rayados plans to renew his contract for two more years.

According to the outlet ‘Qué! Deportes’, the Cantabrian club is starting to see his return to Spanish football as unlikely.
