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.
