Overview
- Cruz Azul’s medical report says Mier fractured his right tibia and will undergo surgery on Thursday, with recovery expected to take several months.
- Mier will miss the Apertura 2025 Liguilla and the Copa Intercontinental, and Colombian national-team involvement has been reported as uncertain.
- The club provided materials to authorities but will not request Adalberto Carrasquilla’s inhabilitación, expecting the Disciplinary Commission to review the case on its own.
- A leaked video angle circulating on social media suggests Mier’s kicking motion created the contact with Carrasquilla, prompting split reactions from former players and renewed scrutiny of VAR and referee Fernando Hernández.
- Reports from Mexican and Panamanian outlets say Carrasquilla has received online death threats and alleged doxxing, while Cruz Azul prepares to start Andrés Gudiño in goal during Mier’s absence.
