Cristian Borja suffered an injury to his right knee during the game against Pumas UNAM. This injury raises serious concerns for Club América as they prepare for the Liga MX playoffs.
As of early Tuesday, Borja is ruled out for the second leg of the quarterfinal against Pumas. The medical report confirms he sustained damage to the collateral ligament.
América finished the first leg of the quarterfinals with a 3-3 draw against Pumas. This match took place at Estadio Azteca, where both teams displayed fierce competition.
This will mark Club América’s 17th consecutive playoff appearance. However, they entered these playoffs in eighth place in the standings, indicating a challenging season.
Borja has played 84 games since joining América, contributing three goals and four assists. His absence could significantly impact their performance in the upcoming matches.

Everything points to Borja missing at least the rest of the Liga MX playoffs — and possibly even the World Cup with his national team. Observers are keenly watching how this will affect América’s strategy moving forward.
