Official: The extent of Luis Ángel Malagón’s injury revealed | OneFootball

Luis Ángel Malagón has gone through a difficult period in recent months with a drop in form, which caused him to lose his starting spot with the Mexican National Team. Now, he has suffered a serious injury that will keep him off the field for several months.

During the match against Philadelphia Union, Luis Ángel controlled a ball inside the box and, as he tried to cut past an opponent, it was clear that something was bothering Malagón, who threw himself to the ground and then began touching his left ankle.

It didn’t seem that serious since he had fallen on his own, but a closer replay showed that when he stepped with his left foot, there was a slight movement in the ankle, and that’s when Malagón felt the injury.

The injury suffered by Luis Ángel Malagón.

In a statement, Club América reported that Malagón suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon and will need to undergo surgery.

No estimated recovery time was given, but it is known that this type of injury takes between six and seven months to heal, so if all goes well, he’ll be back for the Clausura 2027.
