Cruzeiro monitor Arroyo and fear injury during the international break | OneFootball

Forward Keny Arroyo was one of the standout players for Cruzeiro in the 3-1 win over the red-and-black team from Bahia last Sunday, the 21st, in the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship. The Ecuadorian scored the equalizer, which paved the way for the comeback, and assisted the other goals at Barradão.

However, the player felt pain in his leg during the match and drew concern from Cruzeiro and the Ecuadorian national team. After the game, the forward was re-evaluated by the Minas Gerais club’s medical department and cleared to travel and join Ecuador’s squad during the FIFA international window.

Initially, Arroyo only suffered from cramps during the match at Barradão. However, Cruzeiro will continue monitoring the player while he is away.

The player will make a long trip to Asia to face South Korea and Japan on their home soil. In addition, La Tri will also face either Panama or New Zealand in the friendly Kirin Cup tournament. Keny Arroyo arrives with some momentum at the start of his work under coach Marcelo Gallardo.

Even though the player was not found to have an injury, Cruzeiro’s medical department fears losing Kany Arroyo due to wear and fatigue from the long run of matches and travel at the business end of the season. The club’s concern is not having the forward available after his return from the Asia tour.

Signed in 2025, the forward is enjoying his best moment in the club’s shirt. This season, Arroyo has made 44 appearances for Cruzeiro. He has scored 8 goals and provided five assists.
