The doctor of the under-20 category, Luis Rodríguez, spoke about the emergencies they have faced during the CONCACAF qualifiers towards the World Cup, among them the emergency operation he performed on the player Christopher Vanegas and the possible injury condition of Víctor Mejía.
“We have had casualties during that tournament, we suffered an emergency on the part of a player Christopher Vanegas, he had to be hospitalized and operated on this island for an acute appendicitis condition. At the moment he is stable, he is already inside the Hotel along with the delegation,” he indicated.
In addition, the doctor said that the player Víctor Mejía suffered a knee trauma and they are awaiting the respective medical tests to rule out a possible rupture of the cruciate ligaments, but, so far, they are in the facilities with the delegation, who are also being treated. He has done recovery work to release the physical burden of the two duels they have played.
The El Salvador Under 20 team has already played two matches in the qualifiers, the first against the Turks and Caicos Islands with a 7-0 score in the debut, and the second match against Guyana, in which they generated a 2-2 draw, and this February 29 will face Suriname at 1:00 pm
With two games played, the blue team could seal its place in the next phase in the next match, as first in group B, with four points, and waiting for what the team does against Suriname and Antigua and Barbuda. The leaders of each of the six groups will qualify from the tie and the team led by Juan Cortés, coach of the national team, hopes to be the one that advances.
The Spanish strategist spoke after the confrontation they had against Guyana, about what is coming before the two rivals who will face each other this week in search of the objective; add the three points and get closer to the classification.
The strategist added that the team added a significant loss with Vanegas and that Mejía will be under observation to evaluate if it will continue.
