With the presence of Uruguayan forward Emiliano Gómez, despite rumors that place him outside the institution and the supposed interest of Necaxa in his services, Puebla FC started its preseason on Monday for the Apertura 2026 Liga MX tournament. The activity began with the traditional medical and physical tests carried out in the facilities of the Estadio Cuauhtémoc, where the players reported to officially start the preparation work for the next semester. The main novelty was the presence of the new coaching staff headed by Gerardo Espinoza, who had his first formal contact with most of the Puebla squad. One of the players who drew the most attention during the first day of activities was Emiliano Gómez. The Uruguayan attacker presented normally at the start of the work, despite the versions that in the last days have linked him with a possible departure from La Franja and a supposed interest of Necaxa to incorporate him into their ranks for the next championship. On the other hand, the absences also marked the day. The most significant was that of Colombian Edgar Guerra, who concluded his loan with the Puebla team and will not continue in the institution after the board decided not to exercise the option to buy his federative rights that belong to León.
