Following a short break, several U.S. players are set to make their marks in this year's Clausura competition.
With the league set to begin on Friday, here's a look at some of the Americans to follow in Liga MX.
Omar Gonzalez, DF, Pachuca
Since his arrival in Dec. 2015, Gonzalez has developed into one of the best central defenders in the league. The former LA Galaxy footballer was vital alongside Oscar Murillo during Pachuca's run to the quarterfinals of the 2016 Apertura.
Looking ahead to the Clausura, the 28-year-old has the talents to help Los Tuzos chase another title.
