Rómulo Zwarg is improving; Gignac expresses discomfort

The Tigres UANL are preparing for their next match, with Rómulo Zwarg showing improvement in his injury status while André Pierre Gignac is managing discomfort.

After suffering a loss to Cruz Azul, Tigres UANL began their training week ahead of their match against Pachuca in the upcoming Clausura 2026 fixture. The practice was held at the Tigres Training Center, where Guido Pizarro reported positive news about Rómulo Zwarg's physical condition; despite still being on a separate training regime, his muscle injury in the right leg is showing signs of improvement. The team is hopeful that Zwarg will be available for the game against Pachuca, but his fitness will be closely monitored throughout the week.

The absence of Rómulo Zwarg was keenly felt during the previous match, which ended in a disappointing 2-1 defeat against Cruz Azul, resulting in the team dropping to seventh place in the standings. The need for a strong defensive lineup is paramount as they approach their clash with Pachuca, and the coaching staff is eager to reintegrate Zwarg as soon as he is fit to compete. His return could provide a much-needed boost to the defensive setup that struggled in the last match.

On the other hand, André Pierre Gignac did not train with the group due to discomfort in his right leg, opting instead to work with a physiotherapist at the gym. His condition is being monitored, and his participation in the upcoming match against Pachuca remains uncertain. Both players' availability will be significant for the team's strategy and performance in the highly competitive league, underscoring the importance of maintaining player health as the season progresses.
