Bruno Valdez has not had minutes in the Closing 2022 with America and it is said that the Paraguayan is no longer to the liking of Santiago Solari. However, given the circumstances faced by the Eagles, the Argentine strategist would be forced to count on the Paraguayan again.
The Guarani defender has decreased his level in recent tournaments and in the past transfer market there was speculation about his departure. The Tigers sounded like Valdez’s possible destination, that if he reached the felines he would have been reunited with Miguel Herrera. But in the end the transfer did not materialize.

Still at the beginning of the tournament, as the Paraguayan did not go to the bench, it was said that he was still arranging his departure from Coapa. However, his absence was apparently due to injury and before Atlético San Luis he already returned to the bench, although he did not add minutes even with Sebastián Córdova’s injury.
The reason why Solari will have to turn to Valdez in America
Despite the fact that the relationship between the Paraguayan defender and the coaching staff seems damaged, it seems that they will have no other option but to resolve the situation ahead of the duel against Santos Laguna on Matchday 5 of the Clausura 2022.
America currently has injured Jorge Sanchez and Sebastian Caceres, in addition to Emilio Lara. Under normal circumstances, Miguel Layún would take the place of Sánchez while Cáceres would take it Jorge Meré next to Jordan Silva.
However, Layún was sent off against Atlético San Luis and will not be against Santos. It is there where Lara’s absence also weighs, because America no longer has another right-wing defender.
So the alternative would be to run Jordan Silva and have Bruno Valdez return to center. Or that the Paraguayan himself plays on the wing, as he did in some games in 2016 with Ricardo La Volpe as technician. If Valdez is not used, Solari will have to adjust his formation, improvise another footballer on the wing, or resort to U-20 players.
