The striker had to leave Saturday’s friendly win with an injury, with reports suggesting he suffered a broken arm <\/p>\n
Mexico’s Gold Cup attack took a big hit Saturday night, with striker Alan Pulido forced off the pitch with an arm injury just before the hour mark.<\/p>\n
The Chivas striker was in a battle for the ball with Paraguay’s\u00a0Luis Cardozo and took an\u00a0awkward spill, falling on his arm and leaving the pitch with his right arm\u00a0tightly bound against his shoulder and a noticeable grimace on his face.\u00a0<\/p>\n

El Tri have a match Sunday in Russia against Portugal, with manager Juan Carlos Osorio’s top side looking to close\u00a0out the Confederations Cup with a win in the third-place match, with the second unit taking a 2-1 win over Paraguay on Saturday night in Seattle.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Gold Cup squad\u00a0looked likely to rely on Pulido as one of its main threats, at least through the group stage, with the more established attacking threats for Mexico, like Bayer Leverkusen’s Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez and Benfica’s\u00a0Raul Jimenez\u00a0having taken part in the tournament in Russia.\u00a0<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The striker had to leave Saturday’s friendly win with an injury, with reports suggesting he suffered a broken arm Mexico’s Gold Cup attack took a big hit Saturday night, with striker Alan Pulido forced off the pitch with an arm injury just before the hour mark.
