Mexico Star Jesus Corona to Miss World Cup With Broken Leg

Mexico’s World Cup hopes were dealt a massive blow with the news that Sevilla winger Jesús Corona suffered a broken leg and ligament damage to his ankle in training.

The club confirmed the news after Corona, also known as Tecatito, suffered the non-contact injury during a drill Thursday. The winger is now expected to miss the next four to five months, ruling him out of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar this fall. 

“The player was urgently transferred to FREMAP [hospital] to undergo tests that revealed a broken fibula and ligament damage in his left ankle, according to the club’s medical service,” Sevilla said in a statement.
