Overview
- The club reported a rupture miofibrilar in Sepúlveda’s left ischiotibial and said he has begun rehabilitation without a set timeline for return.
- Medical guidance cited in coverage places typical recovery for this injury at roughly three to six weeks depending on severity.
- TUDN journalist Adrián Esparza, via Publimetro, estimates the striker could miss the matches against Pachuca and Juárez and target a September 24 return versus Querétaro.
- Sepúlveda exited in the first half against Chivas, with Gabriel ‘Toro’ Fernández stepping in as his replacement.
- Publimetro notes Sepúlveda is the league’s second-leading scorer and that Cruz Azul remains unbeaten, heightening the impact as the club leans on existing options after an unrealized move for Luka Jović.
