MEXICO -- Last minute news reveals that Cruz Azul's central defender, Enzo Roco, will miss the last two matches of the 2018 Clausura due to a muscle injury suffered in the previous match against Tigres.
On Monday, the player was evaluated to determine the severity of the issue and initially the results are not encouraging.
On Saturday, Roco was only able to participate for 10 minutes in the match held at Estadio Universitario. Since the team returned to Monterrey, he has been under observation. Because the affected area was inflamed and the relevant studies could not be performed, he went to the hospital today.
Without an official medical report, the Chilean would not be in condition to play the team's last match at Estadio Azul nor the following match in Veracruz.
This Monday, the defender, like the rest of the squad, underwent regenerative work at La Noria, although not at the same intensity.
This time, Caixinha only trained with the substitutes on the field. Players like Felipe Mora, Carlos Fierro, and Carlos 'Gullit' Peña were under his orders.
