Overview
- Kevin Mier sustained a tibia fracture against Pumas and will miss the Liguilla and the Copa Intercontinental, with Colombia selection plans impacted.
- An alternate-angle clip circulating on social media shows Mier striking Carrasquilla’s foot during his clearance, casting doubt on claims of intent.
- Mier is slated to undergo surgery on Thursday, with a months-long recovery expected depending on his progress.
- Cruz Azul plans to ask the Disciplinary Commission to inhabilitate Adalberto Carrasquilla; under league rules the process relies on medical files showing a recovery beyond 15 days and may include an independent evaluation.
- Pumas cites a potential countersuit over José Paradela’s challenge on José Juan Macías, Carrasquilla faces death threats and alleged doxxing, and figures such as Efraín Juárez and Hugo Sánchez defend his character as Sánchez urges ex-players in VAR, with some reports suggesting Pumas could stop lending Estadio Olímpico if a suspension is granted.
