America defender Caceres: It's a good thing not to know if I will play under Solari

Fierce competition has emerged in the team's central defense this season

Sebastian Caceres has denied any frustration regarding inconsistent playing time under America head coach Santiago Solari, insisting it is a good thing not to know if he will participate in a match until the day of a game.

Caceres, 21, was an unused substitute in the club's season-opening draw before starting at center back in a 2-1 win over Necaxa.

He said the tension in the squad could push players to fix a back-line that has allowed "many dangerous occasions" at the start of the campaign.
