Brian Rodríguez, Uruguayan striker for América could not be present in the official photo of the Águilas, taken this Wednesday jointly with the women’s team of the American team and for that reason questions have been raised about the presence of the Uruguayan in the starting eleven against the UNAM Pumas in the activity of date 16 of the Clausura 2024 tournament of the MX League:
Rodríguez alleged gastrointestinal problems as made known by the American club through its social networks in a brief statement on the from Coapa.
“Club América reports that our player Brian Rodríguez had a gastrointestinal illness”can be read in the short statement released in the official accounts of the Coapa team, where it is not detailed whether Rodríguez was at home or in a health institution to solve this problem.
Brian Rodríguez has not brought it all with him in the current Clausura 2024 championship, Well, in addition to this stomach problem, two months ago he was affected by a severe case of bronchitis that it was thought could be COVID-19, but in the end that symptom was ruled out and everything turned out to be a severe flu-like illness.
These health problems have not allowed the Uruguayan player to have more minutes on the field of play, where he only has 401 minutes in 12 games played, where he has only been a starter for four times, trying to convince Brazilian coach André Jardine.
As will be remembered in the last tournament, Rodríguez suffered a serious injury and that has cost him to recover his level to be able to compete for the title in the American team. Obviously, the gastrointestinal problem could prevent him from being active in Saturday’s duel against the UNAM Pumas, a duel with a prognosis reserved due to the great rivalry between the two.
Meanwhile, América dominates the competition with 32 points, which means it has a ticket for the direct league, while the Pumas with 23 points occupy ninth position in the general table where they already have a place in the Play In, but a victory would allow them to secure their position.
