Gilberto Mora sparks concern in Mexico: youngster checked for ankle pain | OneFootball

The Mexico National Team received a last-minute concern ahead of its next match against the United States. Gilberto Mora felt discomfort in an ankle during training after the draw against Peru and will undergo tests to determine the extent of the injury.

The 17-year-old midfielder did not play in the 1-1 draw against Peru. After the match, the players who did not see action stayed at the New York Red Bulls stadium for a training session, where Mora aggravated the issue.

Gilberto Mora will undergo tests

The player was taken to a hospital in the morning to be evaluated by the Mexico National Team’s medical staff. The results will make it possible to determine more precisely how serious the discomfort is and whether there is any injury that could prevent him from continuing with the training camp.

Within the national team environment, there is hope that the problem is not serious and that Mora can recover in time to remain available.

The youngster has become one of the names drawing the most attention in the Mexico National Team’s rebuilding process and, according to the initial reports, the intention is to wait for the results before making any decision about his involvement against the United States.

Mexico will rest before traveling to Phoenix

After the friendlies against Peru and Colombia, both ending in 1-1 draws, the coaching staff led by Rafael Márquez gave the squad a day off in New York.

The players must return to the team hotel at night for dinner and a meeting with the coaching staff. Afterward, the team will resume training and travel to Phoenix, Arizona, where it will face the United States.

The match represents one of the main commitments of this tour for Márquez’s team, as he looks to have as many players available as possible.

Gilberto Mora, another concern for Rafael Márquez

During this tour, Mexico has already had to deal with the absences of Alan Cervantes and César Montes, who were unable to continue with the team due to physical issues.

Now, attention is focused on Gilberto Mora. The national team will wait for the results of his medical exams before determining whether he will be able to play against the United States.

The expectation within the team is that the issue can be overcome and that the young midfielder will be available, even if only to play a few minutes in Phoenix.
