Mexico Captain Edson Álvarez Out of Copa América but Stays to Support Team

Mexico captain Edson Álvarez will miss the rest of the Copa América due to a hamstring injury sustained during their 1-0 victory over Jamaica. Despite the injury, Álvarez has decided to stay with the team to support them from the sidelines. Coach Jaime Lozano expressed that losing Álvarez is a significant blow, but 27-year-old César Montes will now take over as captain. Mexico faces Venezuela next in a crucial Group B fixture, with both teams vying for the top spot after winning their opening matches. The match will take place at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Álvarez’s absence will force tactical adjustments as Mexico looks to continue their campaign successfully.
