The Mexican midfielder Andrew Saved has suffered a muscle injury in a training session for the Mexican team before the preparation matches of the gold Cup that is disputed this summer in diverse cities of the United States.
Guarded felt discomfort during the Mexico training last Saturday June 26 and after the pertinent medical tests it is confirmed that he suffers a muscle strain and it is estimated that he will be out for a month, according to various Mexican media.
Guarded has not enjoyed a vacation since last season ended with Real Betis, since he played the final phase of the Concacaf Nations League that Mexico lost to the US (3-2) in the final on June 6. in Denver (Colorado, USA). After this injury, Guarded is out for the start of the Gold Cup, although the coach, Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino, must decide together with the medical team of the Mexican Federation if the captain of his team could recover for the final leg of the tournament, which ends on August 1, or substitute it for another player, sounding the names of Jonathan dos Santos, Erick Gutiérrez and Orbelín Pineda to replace him.
Andrés Guarded already missed the start of last season for a muscle injury that took place in a training match, shortly before LaLiga started, he played one minute on matchday 5 in Mestalla against Valencia (October 3) and was injured again shortly after in a friendly with the Mexican team, not playing again until the end of November (the day of 0-2 against Eibar), when he already did it again on a regular basis, although with stops for the Covid and another muscle injury that he suffered in March and had another month off. Since his signing for him Betis injuries have been a constant, many of them produced when he played for his national team.
