The Uruguayan midfielder faced discomfort following the Clásico Regio and will miss several upcoming games for the Felinos.
There’s trouble in Tigres. Since Diego Coco left the university bench, the team has seemed to drift away from its sporting targets. With Marco Antonio Ruiz at the helm, the squad has shown signs of regression and has gradually moved away from direct qualification places toward the Liguilla.
Last weekend they were defeated 0-1 at home by Monterrey in the Clásico Regio, a result that not only hurt the club’s standing in the table but also put more pressure on the team. Now another issue has emerged, as the club reported an injury to a key midfielder after the latest derby against its bitter rival.
That’s the focus of this update from GOAL, detailing the injury sustained by the Uruguayan:
WHAT’S WRONG WITH HIM?
The club issued an official update confirming the seriousness of the injury. Gorriarán has been diagnosed with a grade 1 myofascial lesion in the left femoral biceps, an issue that will determine his path back to full training.
MEDICAL REPORT @christusmx

HOW LONG WILL HE BE OUT?
With a muscle injury like this, rest and rehabilitation are essential. The Felinos expect the midfielder to be sidelined for about two to three weeks. His return to activity is projected for the middle of the Closure 2023 calendar, which could impact the opening leg of the quarterfinals in the Concacaf Champions League against Motagua.
WHICH MATCHES WILL HE MISS?
His absence will affect Tigres across both national league duties and regional competition. The upcoming fixtures will test the squad’s depth and ability to maintain momentum as they navigate a tight schedule. The team will rely on remaining veterans and younger players to fill the gap while the medical staff monitors Gorriarán’s progress.
