América's injury ward: Águilas hit by injuries in the play-offs | OneFootball

Club América’s season, in footballing terms, has been very inconsistent, with many players underperforming and others missing the entire season due to different injuries.

Henry Martín was one of the players who missed the most matches in this tournament, as the América striker was unable to recover from his injury; it wasn’t until the start of the playoffs that they were able to get him back.

The first serious injury was that of Víctor Dávila. The América forward suffered a ligament tear, which caused him to miss the entire tournament and everything coming up in 2026 as well.

Afterward, Luis Ángel Malagón was also ruled out for the rest of the year due to a torn Achilles tendon.

And when it seemed they would finally have a “full” squad for the playoffs, ‘Pantera’ Zúñiga suffered a fractured collarbone that ruled him out for the rest of this tournament.

But that’s not all—during the first-leg quarterfinal clash against Pumas, Cristian Borja had to be substituted after suffering a serious injury, which has now been confirmed will keep him out of the playoffs.

And to wrap up (for now) the injury situation, Sebastián Cáceres suffered a fractured zygomatic arch and eye trauma, so he will miss the second leg against Pumas.
