New Video Complicates Cruz Azul’s Push to Suspend Carrasquilla After Mier’s Tibia Fracture

Cruz Azul plans to take the case to Liga MX’s disciplinary commission, which relies on medical findings to determine any inhabilitación.

Overview

  • Cruz Azul confirmed goalkeeper Kevin Mier sustained a tibia fracture and will miss the remainder of the season, forcing roster changes for the Liguilla and other competitions.
  • Referee Fernando Hernández reviewed the collision with VAR during the match and issued Carrasquilla a yellow card rather than a red.
  • A viral clip published on Nov. 11 shows an angle where Mier’s foot strikes Carrasquilla as he clears the ball, challenging claims of a deliberate stomp by the Pumas midfielder.
  • Cruz Azul is preparing a formal request for Carrasquilla’s inhabilitación and planned to present its case to the FMF on Nov. 11 under procedures outlined in Article 85.
  • Carrasquilla has faced death threats and alleged doxxing on social media, while some reports suggest Pumas could consider ending Cruz Azul’s use of Estadio Olímpico Universitario if a suspension is pursued.
