If something was missing from the good moment that Guadalajara is experiencing at this start of the tournament, it is that coach Veljko Paunovic has already given the date when Erick Gutiérrez will debut with Chivas.
The brand new reinforcement of El Rebaño has already received his transfer from PSV Eindhoven of the Netherlands, a European team in which he played for the last five years before returning to LIGA BBVA MX.

Erick Gutiérrez would debut in Chivas vs Athletic Bilbao
An addition that has generated a lot of expectations among the rojiblanca fans, although the Serbian strategist pointed out that he will go easy with ‘Guti’, so he will not be called up for this Thursday when Chivas hosts Necaxa in a match on Matchday 3 of the Apertura 2023.
“He is already participating in the work of the rest group. And you can see his technical quality, his decision-making and his positioning, placement, will help us a lot. We hope that there will be no setback, which will be the day in Bilbao, we hope to see him there and give him the necessary minutes for him, and above all so that we can now present him to our audience”, declared Paunovic this Wednesday.
It should be remembered that Guadalajara will have a friendly match against Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish League this Sunday at the Akron Stadium.
Erick Gutiérrez is still not in optimal physical condition considering that he has not played any official match for a month and a half, since his last appearance dates back to May 28, when he played a few minutes with PSV in the Eredivisie.
While his last full game was on May 6, also at the Dutch club, so there is some uncertainty as to what his current level is.
Despite not having ‘Guti’ or other starting footballers, Chivas is the only team that has won two victories in this competition, waiting to soon have their ’10’ again.
“Alexis Vega is also in his last phase of recovery and we hope to see him on the day in Bilbao as well”, he stated.
