Luis Chávez, a midfielder for Mexico, suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament during training, leading to his departure from the Gold Cup. The Mexican Football Federation confirmed the injury following scans and expressed wishes for his recovery. Chávez had contributed to Mexico’s success in the Gold Cup group stage. With his absence, head coach Javier Aguirre will re-strategize using players like Marcel Ruiz and Erik Lira to accompany Edson Álvarez. The timeline for Chávez’s recovery remains uncertain, but ACL injuries typically require six to nine months to rehabilitate.
The Mexican national team informs that Luis Chavez left training yesterday due to a right knee injury. Today, the player underwent an MRI, which confirmed a torn right anterior cruciate ligament. We wish Chavez a speedy and successful recovery.
Chavez played an active role in the Gold Cup group stage for Mexico, starting against Costa Rica and coming on as a second-half substitute versus Suriname.
Head coach Javier Aguirre will now depend on Marcel Ruiz, Erik Lira and Carlos Rodríguez to build a partnership with key midfielder Edson Álvarez moving forward.
Mexico did not give any timeline for Chavez's recovery. He currently plays for Russian Premier League club Dinamo Moscow, but will be sidelined for a significant amount of time given the average rehabilitation period of six to nine months for an ACL injury.
