Club América announced the injury of their player Kevin Álvarez, who suffered a sprain in his left ankle during a recent match. After conducting the appropriate tests, the injury was confirmed, although the exact degree was not specified. Some experts suggest it could be a second-degree sprain, which would imply a recovery period of three to four weeks, depending on the player's progression.
Kevin Álvarez left the field in the 77th minute after sustaining the injury while contesting a 50-50 ball with another player. He was later seen leaving the stadium on a stretcher and unable to put weight on the affected foot. The footballer thanked the fans for their supportive messages and expressed his desire to return to the field soon in full condition, despite having had a previous groin injury that kept him off the pitch for several months.
América has had a strong start in the 2025 Clausura Tournament, as evidenced in their last match against Atlético de San Luis, where they achieved a commanding 3-0 victory. Despite this success, Kevin Álvarez's injury presents a setback for the team, which will now have to cope with the potential absence of the right-back in the upcoming matches. Recovery times will be determined by the progression of the injury, which is expected not to be serious.
