Toluca star Alexis Vega will miss the last two matches of the Liga MX Apertura Tournament due to a muscle injury, although they hope to have him ready for the Liguilla.

According to Antonio Mohamed, Vega was playing with discomfort after a discomfort in the match against Tijuana. But in the match against Pachuca, he had to be replaced on the assistance cart.

“Alexis warmed up, we thought he wasn't going to play. He came from the synthetic pitch with a knee injury, he got fluid out, and to protect his leg, he had a muscle issue. So we're going to have him out for the rest of the tournament, but hopefully he'll be fine for the Liguilla,” said Mohamed.

The Diablos Rojos coach "It's an important loss, obviously, but hey, that's how it is. And regarding the pitch, I'm not going to give an opinion, obviously, that the team felt tired today, but hey, it's the tournament and you have to adapt, there's no need to make any excuses," declared the coach.

Which games will Alexis Vega miss with Toluca?

The Mexican footballer will not be available for the last two matches against Atlas, at the Estadio Jalisco, and against America, at the Nemesio Diez.

Toluca secured direct qualification to the Liguilla, so Alexis Vega will have more than a month of recovery, in addition to the FIFA date in November.

Ecuadorian Enner Valencia scored two goals this Sunday to give Pachuca a 2-2 draw with champion Toluca, who remained the leader of the Apertura tournament in Mexican soccer.

At the close of the fifteenth day of the championship, the Tuzos, who played 24 minutes with one less man due to the expulsion of Alan Bautista, went from less to more and stopped the Diablos.
