Jorge Moreno set off the alarms for the Guatemalan National Team that is playing in the Under 20 World Cup in Argentina when he came off the substitution at minute 77 in the debut duel against New Zealand that ended with a 0-1 defeat for Blue and White.
It was in a play at 71′, when Moreno, who played a ball with an opponent, could not get back on his feet and his teammates requested a change for the goalkeeper who was vital for the classification of the Selection to the World Cup of Argentina.
The goalkeeper had to give up his place to Fausto Delgado, because he left the pitch on a stretcher, many questioned the extent of the possible injury and whether Moreno could be available for the duel against Argentina on May 23.
In the last few hours, positive news was released, and it is that from the heart of the Guatemalan concentration in Santiago del Estero, it was said that everything would have been a scare and that the presence of the goalkeeper in the next match was not in danger.
Finally, this has been confirmed by Dr. Errol Méndez from the medical staff that accompanies the National Team in an interview for Tercer Tiempo.
“After a game there are always small injuries. Those who played full time are going to have a recovery session.”
“Jorge had a cramp, a little strange, we did an investigation on there was dehydration but everything was fine.”
“For the match (against Argentina) everyone will be 100%”, about the possibility of recovering Moreno on the pitch and avoiding the change, he commented “He could not recover at that time, he had contractures. Risking keeping a player with a cramp is not medically advisable.”
“You have to take care of the person that a bigger injury could happen.”
Guatemala’s next match will be against hosts Argentina on May 23 at 3:00 p.m. at the Estadio Único Madre de Ciudades.
