Mexico and Sevilla FC winger Jesús “Tecatito” Corona fractured his left fibula and tore ligaments in his ankle in training on Thursday, the club said. He will be out of action for about four to five months, which means he will disappear from the Mexico Men’s National Team’s World Cup photos.
Corona was taken to the hospital and tested immediately after the incident. Sevilla said he will undergo surgery on Thursday afternoon. The
winger’s injury occurred in the first week of the 2022-23 La Liga season. Corona started Sevilla’s only match of the new season last Friday with a 2-1 loss to Osasuna.
Corona was set to be Mexico’s left winger at the World Cup in Qatar. The 29-year-old has been part of Tata Martino’s national team since 2019, and even when Corona’s form plummeted, Martino retained a quick attacker. Corona, now safe from the World Cup, will have to focus on his recovery, get back in shape, and fight to stay in Europe at this stage of his career. He will be a leader in the dressing room that the players look up to. For Martino, he must decide how to replace Corona, having options but sacrificing experience for the sake of possibility. Uriel Antuna, Diego Reines and Harving Lozano are suspended as wingers.
Corona’s replacement could be his 18-year-old Marcelo Flores, or Martino could take a chance with the club his American Alejandro Zendejas. The 24-year-old left-handed player has been playing well in America and is gaining momentum as Dirk’s horse in Mexico’s final lineup.
