FC Copenhagen's Rodrigo Huescas Suffers Right-Knee Injury as Coach Fears Long Layoff

Medical tests are pending to confirm the damage, a determination that will shape his availability for Mexico's October call-ups and beyond.

Overview

  • Huescas went down in the opening quarter-hour against Qarabag in Baku after pressure from Leandro Andrade and was taken off on a stretcher.
  • The 22-year-old pointed to his right knee as the source of pain, prompting immediate on-field treatment and an early substitution.
  • Coach Jacob Neestrup said the setback is probably a long-term injury and described feeling worse about it than the 2-0 defeat.
  • FC Copenhagen said diagnostics will follow to establish the extent of the injury, with no official timeline announced yet.
  • The setback jeopardizes his inclusion in Mexico’s October friendlies and raises concern about a lengthy absence during the 2025–26 season.
