Cruz Azul face key absence for Intercontinental Cup v Flamengo | OneFootball

Jesús Orozco was injured in the game against Tigres (MEX)

Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (10) to face Cruz Azul (MEX) in Doha, for the quarter-finals of the Intercontinental Cup. Before the match, the Mexican team will have a significant absence for the clash against the "Mais Querido".

This is because Cruz Azul saw defender Jesús Orozco suffer a serious injury in the game against Tigres (MEX), in the Mexican Championship. The defender is a substitute but has been playing frequently and has become an important piece in the squad led by coach Nicolás Larcamón.

Jesús Orozco entered the field at the beginning of the second half against Tigres this Saturday (07), and the injury occurred at the 41st minute. Therefore, it is unlikely that the player will recover in time for the Intercontinental Cup competition.

HOW IS CRUZ AZUL DOING?

Cruz Azul comes to the game against Flamengo with a negative result. This is because the team drew with Tigres this Sunday (07), but was eliminated in the semi-final of the Mexican Championship.
