Andres Montano
23-Year-Old
Cruz Azul
Liga MX
GTD
Injury Knee
Est. Return 1/30/2026
Appears in U21 match
Montano (knee) took part in Tuesday's Under-21 game against Atlas, the team reported Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Montano has been sidelined for eight months since undergoing surgery on a torn ACL, and he has now returned to partial training and been able to play in the youth category. While his comeback to first-team action should come this season, it could still take at least a couple of weeks given that he's not yet working at the same pace as all his teammates. Still, he'll boost the squad's central midfield power at some point, challenging Luka Romero and Angel Marquez for playing time.
