Lucas Merolla Injury: Assists, picks up knock in draw

Merolla delivered an assist but suffered an undisclosed injury in the second half of Saturday's 2-2 draw with Tigres.

Merolla set up the opening goal by knocking a ball down in the 21st minute against the Tigers. The assist was his first direct contribution of the 2025/26 campaign, and he added a season-high mark of 13 clearances. However, the defender got hurt at some point of the second half, making his fitness a potential concern ahead of upcoming games. Given the lack of center-backs on the current roster, youngster Angel Leyva and midfielder Alan Torres are replacement options in case Merolla is sidelined.
