Overview
- Giménez, who was substituted on in the 61st minute, twisted his right ankle in the 98th minute, was stretchered off and taken directly to hospital on Sunday.
- Mexico manager Javier Aguirre confirmed the forward was transported to hospital for checks and said the team must wait for medical results.
- Match replays show the injury followed a landing after a challenge by England’s Djed Spence, with the ankle turning unnaturally as Giménez fell.
- Mexico were eliminated 3-2 by England at Estadio Azteca and had to finish the match with 10 men after Giménez could not continue.
- Giménez had entered the tournament managing prior ankle problems and a previous operation, so AC Milan and Mexico will be closely watching scan results for his short- and long-term fitness.
