Club América and Mexico national team goalkeeper Luis Ángel Malagón is expected to miss the 2026 World Cup after suffering a “serious” Achilles tendon injury on Tuesday night.
Malagón was between the sticks for América in their Concacaf Champions Cup round of 16 clash against Philadelphia Union when he received the ball, then took a step back to clear the ball before his plant foot gave up on him, resulting in him falling to the ground in clear pain grabbing at his left foot.
