Overview
- Atlético Morelia announced on March 18 that center back Brayton Vázquez was released, communicating the move in a short statement without explaining the decision.
- Vázquez, 28, had started eight matches this tournament, logging 720 minutes and one goal, and was recently reported to have a hamstring injury with a 4–6 week recovery window.
- This follows the March 13 announcement that fellow central defender Uziel Amin García Martínez was no longer part of the squad.
- The decisions were issued by the board led by José Luis Higuera Barberi, whose terse communications have fueled scrutiny over selections and planning.
- Since the last match against Tepatitlán, Diego Gallegos, Luis Sandoval and goalkeeper Antonio Torres have been absent, with local coverage noting Torres appeared in a social-media post showing firearms and tequila.
