The young forward of Tigre, Florián Monzón, suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and the external meniscus of his right knee during the match against Boca, in which "El Matador" won 3-0, which will keep him off the field for approximately eight months. Monzón, who is 23 years old and had become the team's top scorer, had to leave the match in tears after only 11 minutes on the field, after experiencing severe pain in his knee due to a bad step.
The medical report from the club confirmed that Monzón will undergo surgery in the coming weeks and that recovery will take around eight months. The player expressed on his social media: "At the best moment of my career, the worst injury," thanking for the support received and showing his determination to overcome this obstacle.
Monzón, whose transfer belongs to Vélez but is on loan at Tigre, was a key player in the team coached by Sebastián Domínguez, scoring six goals in the Liga Profesional. His injury comes at a crucial time for the team, which is fighting to stay in the first division.
After his surgery, Monzón will carry out his rehabilitation in Tigre, and once his loan ends in June of next year, Vélez will determine the next steps in his career. His future will be conditioned by his recovery process and the decisions made by both clubs.
