After suffering a dislocated right ankle, Cruz Azul defender Jesus Orozco Chiquete received the worst news he may have anticipated. He did have surgery to fix the muscles in the damaged area, which may prevent him from competing in the 2026 World Cup.

Cruz Azul was eliminated from the Liga MX finals due to Orozco's damage in the second half of the game against Tigres. The player's expensive injury, specifically the extraordinary way his ankle twisted, and the unfortunate consequences that have already been described, was the most significant blow.

The Cruz Azul keeper attempted to stop Brazilian Angel Correa's shot in the play that caused the injury, but sadly his legs twisted sideways as a result, causing the serious injuries, which may require surgery and will keep the person out of action for at least four to six months.

The centre again had to be carded off the field following the incident, and it wasn't until Tuesday that the medical report was made public. Illegal reports predict that the player will have surgery to repair the extreme dislocation's ligaments and tendons, leaving him out for the whole Clausura tournament.

2026.

As with Uruguayan winger Gabriel" Toro" Fernandez last semester, Cruz Azul expects to launch an official report in the coming hours regarding the player's medical condition and rehabilitation process as well as how they will handle the player's loss. He was one of their most costly signings at the past tournament and is now out of contract due to injury.

As was the case with other players like Angel Sepulveda, Mateusz Bogusz, Luka Romero, and Ignacio Rivero, among others, Orozco Chiquete participated in 12 matches, scoring one purpose and contributing a support, which shows a decrease in efficiency compared to the previous tournament under Argentine coach Vicente Sanchez. Because their youth academy doesn't appear to have the talent to replace him after their youth teams were also eliminated in the finals, Cruz Azul will have to look for a replacement for Jesus Orozco Chiquete in other teams.
