Overview
- Ruiz, who hurt his right knee in March, started and captained Toluca’s Concacaf semifinal at LAFC on Thursday, then left with ice on the same knee.
- Toluca and the player have not issued a medical update since the game, so the ice could be routine care rather than a new setback.
- FMF director Duilio Davino said the World Cup roster stays open, with a FIFA pre-list due May 11 and final picks due June 1.
- Ruiz was left out of the first group of Liga MX call-ups, which keeps his place in doubt as he builds minutes.
- Post-game icing helps reduce swelling in joints under load, which is common for knees recovering from partial ACL and meniscus injuries.
