América lose centre-forward for the play-offs | OneFootball

Club América is getting ready for the start of the playoffs against Pumas, which will begin this Sunday at Banorte Stadium.

Las Águilas came into this series with a full squad, but unfortunately, at the last minute, it was announced that a center forward will be sidelined due to an injury suffered in training.

‘Pantera’ Zúñiga will miss the playoffs.

Through a statement, Club América reported that ‘Pantera’ Zúñiga was involved in an accidental collision during training, which caused a fracture to his left clavicle, so he had to undergo surgery.

The operation was a complete success, and he is now beginning his recovery process, which will take around three to four weeks, meaning he will miss the entire Clausura 2026 playoffs.

This means that we will most likely not see José Zúñiga wearing the América shirt again, because he was one of the main candidates to leave the club after the current tournament ends.

It’s a shame that it didn’t work out, but we wish him a speedy recovery and all the success in whatever comes next in his professional career.
