Hirving Lozano's Knee Injury Comes Ahead of Crucial Summer for Club, Country

Hirving “Chucky” Lozano’s knee injury–as a result of a brutal no-nonsense tackle during PSV Eindhoven’s recent 3-0 victory over Willem II–has generated a cloud of anxiety among Mexican fans as El Tri prepares for summer’s Gold Cup. It’s a new chapter for Mexico, which has depth in talent but has only won one of the last three Concacaf titles. Manager Tata Martino, who embarks on his first competition since taking over, knows too well that in order to deliver, he needs his best players in order for the team to redeem itself and reclaim the trophy after losing to Jamaica in the 2017 semifinal.
