Nicolas Benedetti suffers serious injury in Pre-Olympic tournament
The America midfielder played only 25 minutes due to an injury he suffered while he was playing with Colombia and will return to Mexico tomorrow.
It is not all good news in America after they defeated Queretaro on Sunday in the fifth week of the Clausura 2020. One of their star players, Nicolas Benedetti, suffered a serious injury while playing with Colombia in the 13th edition of the CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic tournament.
The midfielder had to be replaced in the 25th minute against Uruguay due to what looks like a serious injury judging by the pictures and the videos circulating around social media. Nicolas Benedetti is expected to return to Mexico tomorrow and report to America for further medical tests.
Injuries are affecting America
Nicolas Castillo is another player from America that has been hit by injuries this semester. The Chilean will miss the rest of the tournament but was let out of the hospital today after a successful operation. Another player who is currently injured is Jesus Escoboza who tweaked his ankle, and it is not known when he will come back to play.
