Injury nightmare for Mexico: Luis Malagón suffers serious injury with Club América
Luis Malagón, Mexico's first-choice goalkeeper with 19 caps, may miss the World Cup after a suspected Achilles injury during Club América’s CONCACAF Champions Cup match.
- Club América goalkeeper Luis Malagón collapsed and was taken off on a stretcher at Subaru Park during the CONCACAF Champions Cup on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, after suffering a serious injury.
- While shaping to play a right-footed pass, Malagón slipped controlling a back-pass during Tuesday's match and crumpled, calling for medical help.
- After the match, club América said Malagón will undergo tests, and Jardine stated 'It seems like a somewhat serious injury to us, probably an Achilles tendon injury'.
- With Malagón sidelined, Mexico could turn to Raúl 'Tala' Rangel, Carlos Acevedo or Guillermo Ochoa, while Cota starts for Club América this Sunday and March 18.
- With less than 100 days until the World Cup, Malagón's availability is now a major doubt as Club América coach Andre Jardine said he isn't expected to return soon.
