Salcedo returns to Tigres injured after difficult Gold Cup with Mexico

The defender looks set to miss some time after being booed by El Tri fans this past week

After a difficult Gold Cup run that saw him repeatedly booed by Mexico fans, Carlos Salcedo has revealed that his Tigres return will be delayed as he arrives back at his club injured.

Salcedo proved a controversial figure through Mexico's Gold Cup run, which ended with a 1-0 loss to the U.S. in which the defender, who came on as a substitute, was booed whenever he touched the ball.

Now, Salcedo looks likely to miss Tigres' clash with Santos Laguna on Saturday and faces a race to be back in time for the Leagues Cup quarterfinal against the Seattle Sounders.
