Álvaro Fidalgo Clarifies Knee Issue After Mazatlán Exit: No Surgery Planned

He points to a congenital bipartite patella as the cause, expecting short rest as the treatment.

Overview

  • Fidalgo left América’s match against Mazatlán with knee discomfort and was substituted by Jonathan dos Santos.
  • He later explained the problem is a congenital bipartite patella rather than an acute injury.
  • He said recent heavy blows in games against Juárez and Chivas aggravated a sensitive area of the knee.
  • He intends to rest when needed, use the upcoming FIFA window to recover, and keep contributing minutes.
  • RÉCORD notes América is contending with a broader injury list, including names such as Henry Martín and Alejandro Zendejas, as the regular season winds down.
