León Rests Diber Cambindo Against Tigres After América Clash

Club León will face Tigres UANL without striker Diber Cambindo in the starting lineup for their Liga MX Apertura 2026 Matchday 13 fixture on Tuesday, October 20, after coach Javier Gandolfi opted to rest him following a collision with América goalkeeper Luis Ángel Malagón in the previous match. According to Bolavip, Cambindo will begin the game on the bench and could enter if the team needs him during the match. The decision follows León's demanding weekend encounter with Club América, which ended in defeat.

Cambindo collided heavily with Malagón during that game but managed to get back on his feet. Bolavip reported that Gandolfi's decision appeared to be a precautionary rest rather than a confirmed extended absence, although the source did not provide a medical diagnosis.

The timing of the decision also reflects León's upcoming schedule. The team is due to face Toluca over the weekend, and Gandolfi may want his leading attacking option available for that match.

Tigres also have personnel concerns ahead of the fixture. According to Bolavip, the home side will be without Juan Brunetta, its leading scorer, who is suspended for the match. With Cambindo not starting for León and Brunetta unavailable for Tigres, both teams enter the encounter without key attacking options. Gandolfi will retain the option of bringing Cambindo off the bench if circumstances during the game require his involvement.
