Mexico star Lozano ruled out for rest of Gold Cup after suffering gruesome head injury

The Napoli winger collided with Trinidad & Tobago goalkeeper Marvin Phillip just minutes into Saturday's match

Mexico star Hirving Lozano has been ruled out of the rest of the Gold Cup after the winger was carted off just 18 minutes into Saturday's opener after a scary collision with Trinidad & Tobago goalkeeper Marvin Phillip.

The collision came as Lozano was darting into the box with the ball while battling with two T&T defenders. The Mexican star was bumped down straight into an onrushing Phillip, whose knee collided with Lozano's head.

Lozano was left bloodied by the incident and is now expected to miss at least four to six weeks, with Mexico now left without one of its top stars after an uninspiring 0-0 draw.
