The situation with Gilberto Mora is causing concern in Mexican football, and now Tijuana's coach, Sebastián Abreu, has clarified the club's position regarding the young talent ahead of the 2026 World Cup. The Uruguayan strategist stated that they will not risk the midfielder's health, despite the team's sporting need in the Liga MX. In fact, the player has not been able to maintain continuity since the beginning of the year due to discomfort derived from a pubalgia, an injury that has even cast doubt on his presence in the World Cup. In this context, the technical staff has opted for a cautious approach to his rehabilitation, prioritizing his development and avoiding any relapse that could compromise his future. Abreu reiterated that there is no pressure to speed up the process, as they consider the player a long-term project. In fact, there is a consensus within the club that the most important thing is for Mora to arrive in optimal conditions for the pre-World Cup preparation, even if it means missing matches with the team at the end of the tournament. The situation of the young footballer is also closely followed by the Mexican National Team, as he is considered one of the main prospects for 2026. However, his physical condition keeps both the Tri's coaching staff and the fans on alert.
