Apertura

During the preseason, several members of the team suffered from food poisoning, complaining of stomach pain and four of them were admitted to a clinic. Iván Guerrero, Johnny Leverón, Romel Murillo and Carlos Padilla, were the players that were taken to the hospital due to severe dehydration. The rest of the team took a medical evaluation at the headquarters of the club. Following this incident, the coach Juan de Dios Castillo suspended training for a couple of days.^[2]
