Gabriel Milito, coach of Guadalajara, confirmed that captain Luis Romo may miss several matches including the upcoming National Classic due to a muscle injury.

Gabriel Milito, the head coach of Guadalajara, has disclosed that the team may suffer a significant blow as captain Luis Romo could miss several upcoming matches, including the highly anticipated National Classic against América. This concern arises following the team's recent victory over Mazatlán FC, which secured their fifth consecutive win in the Clausura 2026, keeping their perfect record intact. Coach Milito mentioned that Romo seemed to have sustained a serious injury, emphasizing the need for further medical assessments to understand the situation more clearly.

The potential absence of Romo is alarming for the Chivas, as he has been a crucial player for the team. Milito noted that although it is still early to make definitive conclusions regarding Romo's condition, initial impressions suggest it could be a significant injury that might keep him sidelined for several games. The football community is keenly awaiting the results of the medical tests, which will determine Romo's ability to participate in upcoming matches.

As the team prepares for the National Classic, the loss of their captain would have serious implications, not just for the game itself but also for team morale and dynamics. Romo's leadership on the field has been vital for Guadalajara's strong performances. The coach is hopeful that the injury will not prove to be as severe as it seems, but the uncertainty adds to the mounting pressure as they head into such an important fixture in Mexican football.
