Club América Faces Injury Setbacks Ahead of Match

Club América informs that two of its players, Karen Luna and Sarah Luebbert, have injuries that will keep them out of competition for a while. Luna has a posterior impingement in her left ankle, while Luebbert suffers a second-degree sprain in the same ankle.

According to the club's statement, the recovery time for both players will depend on their progress. This news complicates the team's situation, especially in their upcoming match against Pumas, who are currently third in the standings, while América holds the second place with only a two-point lead.

In Luna's case, recovery is expected to take between three and six weeks, meaning her absence from the team will be extended. The Eagles' coach, Ángel Villacampa, will have to make adjustments to his starting eleven to compensate for the losses of these two key players in the game plan.

Sarah Luebbert, in particular, has been fundamental in América Femenil's attack since her arrival, earning the affection of the fans and making a significant difference on the field. Her absence, along with that of Karen Luna, will present a major challenge for the team in the upcoming match against Pumas at Ciudad Universitaria.

Luebbert's injury was announced just hours before a Clásico Capitalino, revealing the seriousness of the injury and the estimated recovery time. With this news, Club América is preparing to face a crucial match without two of its standout players.
