Giorgos Giakoumakis
30-Year-Old
Cruz Azul
Liga MX
Suspended for league match
Giakoumakis is ineligible for the upcoming Liga MX visit to America due to yellow card accumulation, according to the FMF official website.
ANALYSIS
Giakoumakis just returned from a hamstring injury, attempting three shots in Saturday's win over Pumas, but he ended up with a suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card of the current Liga MX season. Therefore, he won't take part in the derby against the Azulcremas and may be back in contention to face Leon on April 15. Fortunately for the club, Angel Sepulveda has done a good job up front lately, and they can also include Gabriel Fernandez in the rotation.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could move to Mexico
Cruz Azul are interested in signing Giakoumakis in the summer, according to Tom Bogert of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Giakoumakis has struggled to replicate the form he evidenced in the 2023 MLS season, when he was one of the league's most prolific strikers, and Cruz Azul have set their sights on him due to the team's need of a proven goalscorer and Atlanta's own struggles. Atlanta rejected Cruz Azul's first approach, but the Mexican giants are expected to submit another offer for the Greek striker.
