To reach this stage, the team led by the Brazilian coach André Jardine eliminated 2-1 to Atlasthanks to the many of Eric Sanchez and the captain Henry Martinalthough the Uruguayan Sebastian Caceres He was injured, leaving his place to Nestor Araujo. For now, the Uruguayan would remain out of action to take care of him because he has pain in his knee, even the helmsman ruled out that it is something serious, awaiting the official medical report. Likewise, the Colombian Christian Borja He suffered a strain in his calf, but could be ready for Tuesday.

“I think Seba had a muscle contracture three days ago during a tackle in training. Yesterday he was able to train normally and that’s why he played, but during the match he had an abnormal movement that gave him pain in his leg and because he couldn’t make natural movements, he felt pain in his back again. We preferred to take him off because he had pain in two different muscles. I don’t think it’s anything to worry about, it was a bad movement that doesn’t complicate the sequence.”said Garden.

Another one who remains on the injured list is Kevin Alvarezwho since last year underwent surgery for a pubalgia that kept him off the pitch. However, there is good news, as the right back announced through his broadcast channel that he was finally able to train again alongside his teammates, so his return is slowly approaching. Finally, the American Alejandro Zendejas He is another who is on the injured list, but he still traveled with the rest of his teammates to the Leagues Cupfollowing his rehabilitation.
