Gilberto Mora Injury: Considered day to day

Mora (groin) is still struggling with pubalgia and is questionable for upcoming games. "He's recovering, we're taking it day by day, step by step, without rushing.", according to manager Sebastian Abreu, who added "We don't want him to be in top form for a local match; we want him to be ready for the World Cup. That's what we're focused on.", Medio Tiempo reported Sunday.

Mora will continue to be managed carefully and won't play until he's out of risk of aggravating the injury. While his absence is a big blow to Xolos' lineup, they have adapted well with an attacking midfield composed of Kevin Castaneda, Adonis Preciado and Ramiro Arciga, the latter of whom would be the likeliest to lose the spot when Mora is fully recovered. The youngster had previously played 133 minutes in 2026, racking up two shots and three crosses but failing to make the score sheet before picking up the issue.
