Xolos' Gilberto Mora Undergoes Hand Surgery, Ruled Out vs Pumas

The 17-year-old’s return hinges on medical progress, forcing Tijuana to adjust plans for the Apertura run-in.

Overview

  • Mora fractured the third metacarpal in his left hand during training on October 30, according to the club.
  • Tijuana reported the procedure was successful and said he will rejoin training based on recovery, without a set timetable.
  • He will miss Sunday’s match against Pumas in Jornada 16, with multiple reports indicating he could also sit out the regular-season finale versus Atlas.
  • Typical consolidation for this injury is cited by outlets at six to eight weeks, creating uncertainty for Play-In or Liguilla availability.
  • Media expect he is unlikely for Mexico’s November friendlies against Uruguay and Paraguay, though final national-team decisions will depend on his progress.
