UruguaySuffers multiple injuries from blow
Caceres (concussion) sustained a direct facial blow which led to his substitution in Sunday's draw with Pumas, with his team now confirming that he also has a fractured zygomatic arch and eye trauma.
Analysis: Caceres could miss upcoming league games following his exit from the opening playoffs clash, but his return is expected to depend on his progress. With Israel Reyes (international duty) not with the team, Ramon Juarez and Miguel Vazquez will likely take the center-back spots in immediate contests. If the Uruguayan spends several weeks on the sidelines, his participation in the World Cup may be at risk, even though he's currently considered as a depth option for his country.
Subs off with concussion Sunday
Caceres left under concussion protocol during Sunday's 3-3 draw versus Pumas.
Analysis: Caceres was forced to exit the field in the second half after an active performance in the derby. Given that his substitution triggered the concussion protocol, the defender should miss the second leg of the Liga MX quarterfinals, meaning he would return to club play this season only if he recovers quickly and the team advances to the next round. With Israel Reyes working with the Mexican national team, Ramon Juarez and Miguel Vazquez will be expected to start at center-back while Caceres is out.
