Toronto, June 2:
Marcelo Flores is set to miss the World Cup for Canada after injuring his right knee in the CONCACAF Champions Cup final, his club UANL Tigres announced.
Flores, 22, sustained the ACL injury in a non-contact play in the 77th minute on Saturday during Tigres’ loss to Toluca.
The UANL Tigres said Flores “will undergo surgery in the coming days.”
“These are difficult times, I just wanted to thank everyone for their messages,” Flores posted on Instagram. “I haven’t been using my phone or checking my messages, but I promise to reply to everyone and I really appreciate your concern. I’ll come back stronger.”
Flores’ switch of national eligibility from Mexico to Canada was confirmed in February, and he was included in the World Cup squad. Born in Georgetown, Ontario, to a Mexican father, Flores played three matches with Mexico’s senior team and needed FIFA approval to play for the Canadians.
