José Luis Caicedo leaves in tears due to injury. How long will Pumas man be out?

The Pumas triumphed, dominated, and delighted this Sunday afternoon against Santos, a team that, despite recently appointing Ignacio Ambríz as their new coach, has yet to demonstrate what the experienced Mexican coach can bring. Hence, they were completely dominated by the Universidad team from start to finish. A solid 3-0 win.

José Luis Caicedo goal and injury

Among the goals celebrated at Ciudad Universitaria, there was one in particular that held double value, both for the timing of its arrival and the scorer, who made his debut in the First Division after three seasons. We’re talking about the Colombian, José Luis Caicedo.

A corner kick, weak marking by the Laguneros, and Paisa, who slipped well between the defenders, managed to connect with not much force, but with good placement to make it 2-0 and increase the chants among the fans. A goal that gave him confidence after not starting the Clausura 2024 season with his best form.

The bad news for Pumas

However, not everything would be positive for the Felinos, as with the score in their favor and just seven minutes into the second half, a twinge in the back of the thigh prevented the South American midfielder from continuing and he had to leave the Game.

Assisted off by his teammates, José Luis slowly left the field from the sideline, and amidst tears, both the pain and the frustration were evident as he once again found himself entangled in injury problems, which have prevented him from comfortably participating in the sport he loves since last season. As we await further information on the severity of the injury from the medical team, it’s worth noting that he did miss much of the Apertura due to a muscle strain.
