Alejandro Zendejas might be Liga MX's best player, which is great news for Club América and the USMNT. @goal.com

By the time this three-game set against Chivas concludes, all eyes will then turn towards the CONCACAF Nations League. Zendejas was named to the USMNT's 60-player squad, and it would be stunning if Mauricio Pochettino opted to leave him off of the final 23 when the time comes. When you have a player in this sort of form, you get him in the team, even if starting minutes will be hard to come by for Zendejas due to the presence of Christian Pulisic and Tim Weah on the wings.

His last start for the USMNT was in the 2023 Gold Cup.
