Damm set to leave América as Ortiz drops winger from first-team squad
Jürgen Damm, who has featured just once for Club América in the Clausura 2023, appears to be heading for the Liga MX club’s exit door.
Jürgen Damm looks to be on his way out of Club América after reportedly being banished from the Liga MX club’s first-team squad.
Damm not in América boss Ortiz’s plans
According to TUDN’s Gibrán Araige, Damm has been relegated to América’s under-20s squad as head coach Fernando Ortiz feels he doesn’t fit the 13-time Mexican champions’ style of play.
And the winger appears to agree with Ortiz’s assessment that he should find a new club. Indeed, before the Clausura 2023 tournament began in January, he reportedly told América that he wants out over his lack of game time.
Limited to one brief run-out in Clausura
After being restricted to six appearances in the Apertura 2022, Damm has featured for only eight minutes in the Clausura 2023. The 30-year-old is out of contract in June.
Capped 12 times by Mexico, Damm joined América from MLS team Atlanta United in June 2022.
