Club America has a major injury worry on its hands only two weeks into the new Liga MX Apertura season.
Alex Zendejas is set to miss an indefinite amount of time due to a calf injury, the club announced Tuesday. The 26-year-old suffered the injury during Club America’s 3-1 league win to Queretaro last Friday, a match in which Zendejas assisted once.
He started and played 69 minutes before being substituted.
Zendejas has featured in all three of Club America’s matches to date this summer, registering a pair of assists. The U.S. men’s national team winger assisted in Club America’s 2-1 victory over Tigres in the Campeon de Campeones on June 30 before also featuring against Atletico San Luis and Queretaro respectively.
Zendejas has been a major part of the club’s attacking corps over the past three seasons, logging 26 goals and 11 assists over that span. He’s won three league titles with Club America, including a domestic double last season.
However, his absence will be sorely missed as Club America continues its league schedule against Tigres and FC Juarez over the next week.
