Alejandro Zendejas appears set for a spell on the sidelines, with the Club América midfielder reportedly suffering a broken leg that will keep him out up to six weeks.
Zendejas suffered the injury while attempting to make a tackle in América’s 3-1 victory over Querétaro on Friday.
The U.S. men’s national team midfielder was seen in a walking boot after the game, and TUDN has now reported that he will likely be out until September with a fracture in his left fibula.
That timeline would see Zendejas miss multiple Liga MX games, América’s friendlies in the United States against Aston Villa and Chelsea, as well as the entirety of the 2024 Leagues Cup.
Zendejas has been a vital player for América over the past few seasons, with Las Aguilas winning their second straight Liga MX title in May with a win over Cruz Azul in the Clausura final.
Despite his excellent form at the club level, Zendejas is still awaiting his first cap for the USMNT since the 2023 Gold Cup. Zendejas has seven total appearances for the USMNT, all of which came in 2023 after he committed to the program after previously representing Mexico.
