Leo Suárez’s Triumphant Return? Pumas Midfielder Eyes Comeback Against Puebla!
After nearly eight months of recovery from a devastating ACL injury, Argentine midfielder Leo Suárez is set to travel with Pumas for their crucial Jornada 11 clash against Puebla in the Clausura 2025. Could this be the long-awaited moment fans have been hoping for?
A Grueling Road to Recovery
Suárez suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in July 2024, an injury that sidelined him for what felt like an eternity for both him and the Pumas faithful. Now, after months of relentless rehabilitation, the midfielder has been training at full intensity alongside his teammates for the past two weeks, signaling his readiness to return to action.
A Careful Approach to His Comeback
According to TUDN reporter Rodrigo Celorio, the initial plan is for Suárez to get minutes with Pumas’ U-23 squad. However, should head coach Efraín Juárez see fit, he could be included on the bench for the first team’s match at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc.
Will He Feature Against Puebla?
Pumas, currently sitting in 12th place with 11 points, desperately need a spark to reignite their season. Puebla, sitting 15th with just eight points, presents a golden opportunity for the Universitarios to climb the standings. Following the dismissal of Gustavo Lema, Pumas saw Raúl Alpizar take charge against Chivas before Juárez led them to a 2-0 victory over Alajuelense in the Concacaf Champions Cup.
The question remains: Will Leo Suárez get the chance to make his grand return in Liga MX action? After the U-23 game, the coaching staff, medical team, and Suárez himself will assess whether he’s ready for first-team minutes.
The Countdown Begins
Pumas and Puebla face off this Friday, March 7, at 9:00 PM (Mexico City time) / 10:00 PM ET. Will we witness the emotional comeback of Leo Suárez? Or will his return have to wait a little longer?
Stay tuned as the drama unfolds!
