Xolos Confirm Gilberto Mora Hand Surgery, Rising Star Out for Mexico’s November Window

The 17-year-old forward faces a projected 6–8 week recovery that removes him from Mexico’s November fixtures.

Overview

  • Xolos reported that Gilberto Mora fractured the third metacarpal in his left hand during an Oct. 30 training session and underwent successful surgery.
  • The club said his return to training will depend on his evolution, offering no fixed timetable for reintegration.
  • Reports cite a typical 6–8 week consolidation period for this injury type, suggesting he likely misses the remainder of the league phase and the Play-In push.
  • His injury rules him out of Javier Aguirre’s November call-up for friendlies against Uruguay and Paraguay.
  • Tijuana sit ninth on 21 points and will visit Pumas in a match with Play-In implications without one of their breakout performers, who has drawn reported interest from clubs in Spain and England.
