Gibran Araigeof TUDNreports that the América and El Tri goalkeeper have already received the medical results and the diagnosis is an endurance muscle tear in the gluteus.
Malagón will be out for three to four weeks, so he will not be available for the Copa América where he was set to be a starter for the Mexican National Team.
Although it still has Julio González and Raúl ‘Tala’ Rangel for the summer tournament, Jaime Lozano He has the possibility of calling up a substitute for the América goalkeeper.
Araige indicates that Guillermo Ochoa and Carlos Acevedo These are the options that Jimmy has, since both were part of the pre-list of 55 players that the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) delivered to Conmebol/Concacaf.
Ochoa’s return to Tri is complicated because this summer he is looking for a new club and was not considered by Lozano in the generational change that began with a view to the 2026 World Cup.
In that sense, Araige reveals that Lozano opted for Acevedo and that even the Santos Laguna goalkeeper has already received the call to report in the next few days in San Diego, where the Tri bunker will be for the Copa América 2024.
The Mexican National Team will face Brazil this Saturday at Kyle Field in Texas, while its debut in the Copa América will be on June 22 against Jamaica in Houston, Texas.
