Through a statement on its website, the Guerreros team reported on the tricolor player: “Fracture in the left tibia after the blow suffered in the match between the national teams of Ecuador and Peru. This Monday (February 14) he will undergo surgery and a recovery period of three months is estimated”.
Preciado, repeatedly called by the coach Gustavo Alfaro for the Tri, will miss the closing of the South American qualifier for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, that is, the matches of the seventeenth dates, against Paraguay, and the eighteenth, against Argentina, both at end of March.
The 27-year-old footballer was injured against the Peruvians at the National Stadium in Lima, in an action with central defender Carlos Augusto Zambrano shortly after game time, and was substituted at minute 73.
Initially, Dante Elizalde, executive president of Santos, reported that it was “a refracture of the left tibia.” And he added that the Ecuadorian would go to the United States for his treatment, in addition to the fact that he would be absent from the competition for up to seven months.
But a day later, on February 4, Preciado ruled out that it was a fracture: “It is a fissure, with that we will not take so long in the recovery. The bone is not broken and the doctors give good news not to be operated and with a treatment to be able to recover in less time”.
Santos Laguna has already started its participation in the Clausura 2022 of Liga MX and the Guerreros board has said that it would seek a replacement for the injured tricolor.
