Cruz Azul suffer major blow ahead of Flamengo clash in the Intercontinental | OneFootball

Jesús Orozco was injured in the match against Tigres (MEX)

Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (10) to face Cruz Azul (MEX) in Doha, in the quarterfinals of the Intercontinental Cup. Before the match, the Mexican team will have a major absence for the clash against the Red and Black.

This is because Cruz Azul saw defender Jesús Orozco suffer a serious injury in the match against Tigres (MEX), in the Mexican Championship. The defender is a substitute, but has been playing frequently and has become an important part of the squad led by coach Nicolás Larcamón.

Jesús Orozco came onto the field at the start of the second half against Tigres this Saturday (07), and the injury occurred in the 41st minute. Therefore, it is unlikely that the player will recover in time for the Intercontinental Cup.

HOW IS CRUZ AZUL COMING INTO THE MATCH?

Cruz Azul comes into the match against Flamengo with a negative result. That’s because the team drew with Tigres this Sunday (07), but was eliminated in the semifinals of the Mexican Championship.
