Cruz Azul Says Sanctions Coming In Mier Injury Case As Carrasquilla Draws Automatic Play-In Ban

Federation officials are reviewing the club’s evidence, with timing and scope of any penalties still unspecified.

Overview

  • Goalkeeper Kevin Mier sustained a tibia fracture, underwent surgery on Thursday, and is expected to be sidelined for several months.
  • Adalberto Carrasquilla will miss Pumas’ Play-In match against Pachuca due to an automatic one-match suspension for reaching five yellow cards.
  • Cruz Azul president Víctor Velázquez met with the Comisión de Arbitraje and said the league assured the club there will be sanctions, though none have been detailed.
  • Reports indicate referee Fernando Hernández could be left out of the upcoming Liguilla for not sending off Carrasquilla, a move not yet confirmed by officiating authorities.
  • Liga MX stopped publishing VAR audio from matchday 14 onward, a decision that has limited transparency around the incident that injured Mier.
