Still working apart from group
Sanchez (thigh) continues to train separately with differentiated work, though he has been seen jogging around the pitch, according to Raymundo Gonzalez of Jalisco TV.
Analysis: Sanchez hasn't played since he picked up the issue in an Aug. 1 match against Rayados, but Jogging around the field is an encouraging sign after a thigh injury. However, it also indicates Sanchez is still some distance from being available for selection given that he's not yet integrated into team training sessions. Gustavo Ferrareis remains the first right-back option in the meantime. A realistic return date is difficult to project until the club reports that he has rejoined full group work.
Joins Atlas as new right-back
Sanchez has transferred to Atlas from Greek side PAOK for the Apertura 2026 campaign, the club announced Thursday.
Analysis: Sanchez brings extensive international experience to his new club, having played for Santos Laguna, America, Ajax, Porto, Cruz Azul and PAOK. During his year and a half at Cruz Azul, he posted 65 appearances with three goals and five assists across all competitions, winning the 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup, before making just 10 Super League starts with PAOK this year. He projects as a solid right-back option for Atlas given his pedigree, which includes two World Cup appearances and an olympic bronze medal in 2021. Sanchez will compete directly with Gustavo Ferrareis for the role, and his experience and recent international form could give him an early edge heading into the Apertura tournament.
