Guardado Subbed off in 72nd Minute
Tuesday, Sept. 15
According to Sports Illustrated's Planet Futbol, the Mexican midfielder suffered an ankle injury. The 28-year-old was replaced by Stijn Schaars. Tom Marshall of ESPN FC added that the issue looks to be somewhat serious:
While Guardado will obviously play a role in PSV's Eredivisie title defense and trek through the Champions League, the more pressing concern is his availability for Mexico in the Confederations Cup playoff against the United States, which is on Oct. 10.
Guardado was by far El Tri's best player at the Gold Cup, taking home the tournament's Golden Ball Award. His creativity and attacking verve were particularly important for Mexico given their struggles in the final third.
Mexico are stronger than the U.S. in terms of personnel. But take Guardado out of the equation, and the gulf lessens a bit.
