Injury Blow to the Mexican National Team

In a blow to the Mexican National Team, defender Jesús Angulo has been sidelined due to an injury, missing upcoming friendly matches against Switzerland and Turkey. The Tigres player reported discomfort upon joining the national squad, prompting further evaluation.

Medical Evaluation and Diagnosis

An MRI revealed that he is suffering from meniscopathy affecting the lateral meniscus in his right knee, alongside a chondral injury. Following this diagnosis, Tigres has requested his return to their facilities for a thorough assessment by their medical team.

As of now, Coach Javier ‘Vasco’ Aguirre has not announced a replacement for Angulo, whose initial roster drew attention with notable players such as Guillermo Ochoa, Mateo Chávez, and the much-anticipated return of Hirving ‘Chucky’ Lozano.
