The present and future of the Mexican national team rests with Santiago Giménez, which is why it is so worrying that the forward will be out for the rest of the current year, however, according to his father Cristian ‘Chaco’ Giménez, his injury is “not good”.
The forward suffered a hamstring problem in Feyenoord’s last match against NAC Breda in the Eredivisie and left after 29 minutes, but what has become of the 23-year-old attacker?
“The outlook wasn’t good because they did the tests, and apart from the hamstring biceps already mentioned, the injury also affected the tendon a little bit. It was like a ‘chicodazo’ when going to cut the ball, and when you hit the brake you felt your leg stretched out,” says the father of the Mexico national team.
How long will Santiago Gimenez be out?
According to the club, the Mexican’s injury was not minor.
“I spoke to Shanti and he told me that he felt as if his whole leg had fallen asleep. “It’s very similar to the injury Edson Alvarez suffered and he was out for seven weeks,” he added on FOX Sports México.
According to doctors, Gimenez will be out of the stadiums for three months, so he will not be at the next FIFA date with the Mexican national team, and he will miss practically all games in 2024, including the Champions League against the clubs. Like Benfica or Manchester City.
