Overview
- Cruz Azul confirmed goalkeeper Kevin Mier suffered a tibia fracture and faces roughly six months out.
- Mier was injured on a challenge by Adalberto Carrasquilla that referee Fernando ‘El Curro’ Hernández did not punish with a red card, drawing sharp public criticism from ex-player Carlos Hermosillo.
- Under FMF Article 85, the Disciplinary Commission can investigate medically certified serious injuries at a club’s request and may inhabilitate the offender for the length of the recovery, including review by an independent physician.
- Cruz Azul will formally request that Carrasquilla be barred from playing until Mier is fit to return.
- With Mier sidelined, Andrés Gudiño will start in goal for the Liguilla and Emmanuel Ochoa will serve as his backup.
