El Tri’s Midfield Maestro Out—What’s Next?

Tough news for El Tri fans: Luis Chávez, our set-piece wizard from the 2022 World Cup, is out with a torn ACL. With Chávez sidelined for the Gold Cup and possibly the 2026 World Cup, Mexico’s midfield loses its creative spark. Can Marcel Ruiz or Orbelín Pineda step up and fill those big shoes? Or will Aguirre have to rethink his whole game plan? Wishing Chávez a speedy recovery—his left foot will be missed! #ElTri #LuisChavez #GoldCup2025 #Sports #Soccer
