Overview
- Luis Chávez logged his first minutes on Sunday in a 5-0 friendly win over FC Tver, nine months after ACL surgery in June 2025.
- Dynamo Moscow welcomed him back with a social post and Chávez shared that he was grateful to play a few minutes after a long rehab.
- He had been eased in a week earlier when he was named to the squad and stayed on the bench against Zenit on March 22.
- A Russian league game against Orenburg on April 4 is being pointed to as a possible first official outing as he tries to earn a Mexico recall under Javier Aguirre.
- Coverage disagrees on whether the injury was to his right or left knee, though his surgeon told Medio Tiempo he is fit and could reach top form before the tournament.
