⚠️Alarm bells at América: what's up with Luis Malagón? | OneFootball

The Mexican National Team’s goalkeeping position has suffered a significant loss: goalkeeper Luis Ángel Malagón, from Club América, was released from the squad by coach Javier Aguirre due to an injury. The keeper is being “wrapped in cotton wool” and will focus on his recovery to be in optimal condition for the Apertura 2025 playoffs.

With Malagón’s departure, Aguirre’s only options in goal for the remainder of the FIFA break are Raúl Rangel and Carlos Acevedo.

Ankle blow and focus on the playoffs

The reason for his absence is a blow to the ankle that has caused swelling for the goalkeeper. The Mexican National Team decided to give him complete rest during this international break.

Upon his return to Mexico, Club América will take all necessary measures so that Malagón can fully recover before the start of the playoffs. Although there is no exact recovery time, there is full confidence in Coapa that the goalkeeper will recover well and be able to start next week, when the decisive phase of the championship begins.

Jardine seeks revenge

While Malagón recovers, América, led by André Jardine, is focused on winning the Apertura 2025 title. After failing to achieve the much-desired four-peat in the last tournament, the Águilas are seeking revenge to consolidate the good footballing form they have enjoyed over the past year and a half. The presence of the starting goalkeeper is considered crucial for the path to a new title.
