The Mexico national team suffered a massive blow this week, as it was confirmed Rodrigo Huescas will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a major knee injury.
Huescas was playing for FC Copenhagen in the Champions League against Qarabağ FK when the injury occurred. The 22-year-old was fighting for the ball when his right leg got stuck in the ground and moved awkwardly, resulting in him leaving the pitch after just 13 minutes.
Further tests confirmed Huescas will be out of the rest of the season after undergoing surgery, Copenhagen confirmed.
“On Thursday evening, Rodrigo [Huescas] underwent a scan back home in Copenhagen, which unfortunately confirmed that the injury is as serious as initially feared,” the club wrote in a statement.
“This means Rodrigo [Huescas] now faces surgery and a lengthy rehabilitation period, and he will be out for the rest of the season at the very least.”
