MEXICO -- Things are looking good for Tigres in the Mexican League (Liga MX) and the CONCACAF Champions League, but the bad news due to injuries continues to affect Ricardo Ferretti's squad.
Ivan Estrada has been ruled out for the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal against Toronto, after suffering a foot injury when he was substituted in the 74th minute in the 2-0 victory against Veracruz.
'Gutty' will not be considered for the trip to Canada and will stay in Monterrey to be assessed and determine how long he will be out of action.
Francisco Meza underwent surgery due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, an injury he suffered in the first leg of the round of 16 against Herediano in Costa Rica, which will keep him out of the pitch for six months.
Luis Rodriguez got injured a week later in the second leg of the quarterfinals against the Costa Ricans and suffered a torn muscle in his right thigh that will keep him inactive for two more weeks.
Tigres will face Toronto in the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions League, a tournament in which the team from Monterrey has been finalists in the last two editions.
