The footballer on loan from the Sacred Flock had a great start in the Apertura 2021, after not having had a single minute in the Clausura 2021, he had managed to establish himself within the starting eleven of Juan Reynoso, as he began to gain the confidence of the Peruvian coach who even won the title in six of the seven games he played prior to his muscle injury, but unfortunately it affected him and ended his good streak of activity shortly.
And despite the fact that his injury was not serious and he only received days of rest so as not to aggravate the situation, the 25-year-old player had no activity in four days against Querétaro, Puebla and Tijuana (matchday 11 against León is pending)
