It has been confirmed that Víctor Dávila has torn his cruciate ligaments, which means he will be off the field for the rest of the year.
If all goes well, he will be back at the beginning of next year, and it remains to be seen if he returns wearing the América jersey, as it wouldn't be surprising if they decide to let him go by then.
However, following this injury, there have been many questions about whether América could sign a replacement, and the short answer is yes.
What is needed for this to happen?
The Liga MX regulations are clear on this matter: if a club has a player seriously injured to the point that their recovery will take more than seven months, they are allowed to replace him even if the transfer window has closed.
Additionally, the registration must be completed before matchday 14, and a Liga MX doctor must certify the injury to allow the replacement and deregister the injured player.
Where could they bring the signing from?
Ideally, they should sign a player who is not under contract, specifically a player, as there would be no issues, and the operation would be immediate.
They can also hire someone from the international market, but this requires FIFA's approval, as the signing would be made outside the transfer window.
It will be up to the management to decide whether to sign someone else or prefer to stay as they are.
