The draw between Cruz Azul and América in a new edition of the Clásico Joven not only left footballing analysis, but also a great concern in the Cruz Azul environment: the injury to Nico Ibáñez, who had to leave the match, setting off alarms in the technical staff.
The play that set off the alarms The Argentine striker visibly left the match affected, which generated immediate concern on the Cruz Azul bench. At first, it was even speculated that it could be a serious injury, which increased the tension among fans and the media. However, as the hours passed, the picture began to clear thanks to updates from the technical staff.
Nicolás Larcamón's statement After the match, coach Nicolás Larcamón spoke about his player's condition and sought to bring calm to the 'cementera' fanbase. According to what the coach expressed, the injury to Nico Ibáñez appears to be muscular, specifically in the calf area, initially ruling out a more serious problem. The strategist also clarified that, without definitive medical studies, a closed diagnosis cannot be given, but he insisted that there are no signs of a ligament or tendon injury, which would have meant a much longer absence.
"WOULD IT BE A MUSCLE INJURY? 🤔" "Apparently, it would be a muscle injury in the calf."
Larcamón's words helped to calm the Cruz Azul fanbase, although the club will await the official studies to know the definitive diagnosis and the time he will be off the pitch.
Awaiting the official medical report For now, Cruz Azul remains cautious. The team's technical and medical staff are awaiting the final results to determine Ibáñez's recovery time and confirm the real extent of the injury. Meanwhile, the message is one of moderate optimism: it would not be a long-term injury, but rather a muscular discomfort that must be treated with care.
Nico Ibáñez's injury does not seem, for the moment, to be as serious as was initially feared.
