Xolos Confirm Mora Hand Surgery as Abreu Targets Play-In Return, Club Sets $30 Million Valuation

Team optimism contrasts with typical six-to-eight week healing timelines for third‑metacarpal fractures.

Overview

  • Club Tijuana announced Gilberto Mora fractured the third metacarpal in his left hand during training and underwent successful surgery, with his return to practice tied to his recovery.
  • He is out for Xolos’ remaining regular-season games against Pumas and Atlas, and multiple outlets report he is likely to miss Mexico’s November friendlies versus Uruguay and Paraguay.
  • Sébastián ‘Loco’ Abreu said Mora is expected to resume normal training on November 10, adding that the 17-year-old should be available for the Play-In.
  • Reports citing TUDN indicate Xolos have set a minimum transfer valuation of about $30 million for Mora and intend to retain a future sell-on percentage as European interest continues.
  • The breakout midfielder logged 802 minutes and three goals in Apertura 2025, underscoring both Xolos’ short-term loss and his growing market profile.
