Álvaro Fidalgo opens up about his knee 'injury' | OneFootball

Álvaro Fidalgo's physical condition has been a concern for Americanistas; during the national classic, he had to be substituted at halftime due to severe pain, and since then, he has been a substitute in the next two matches, limited to playing only 45 minutes in each.

After the victory against Atlético de San Luis by the minimum, the Spanish-born player spoke about the issue and ruled out having any injury.

"I don't have an injury, it's simply that I was born with a different condition, a bipartite patella. I was born with it, it's not considered an injury. I suffered two blows in a sensitive area; after the hit against Chivas, I couldn't stretch my leg. It's a matter of recovering from those blows.

"The easy thing would be to stop, but I don't like to if I can avoid it. I'm sure I'll be available on Saturday and try, for the FIFA Date (October), to recover well for the remaining important matches and be at one hundred percent in the playoffs," were his words on the matter.

Rodrigo Aguirre's fracture ruled out.

Another injury concern was the hard hit that 'Buffalo' Aguirre suffered during the match against San Luis, in a clash with the opposing team's goalkeeper, he was hit just below the eye and due to the swelling had to leave the field.

But after undergoing tests, it was found that he did not suffer a fracture, which was the main concern, and it was just a blow from which he will have to recover over the days.
