Adalberto Carrasquilla

Carrasquilla (groin) was named in Panama's World Cup squad despite not having fully recovered from the left leg injury sustained in the Clausura final with Pumas UNAM, leaving his availability for the opening fixture uncertain, according to coach Thomas Christiansen, per Deportes RPC. "I would like to give you the information I have, but I am not a doctor to commit myself. If there is a good evolution, Coco might make it, I cannot tell you he will not make it because if he then arrives you will say I lied. According to the tests, Coco has the worse injury of the two. Anibal has been under treatment longer, he is already on the pitch running, doing sprints, changes of direction, and Coco has not reached that point yet."

Carrasquilla (groin) was spotted with the Panama squad wearing running shoes as he continues his recovery from the injury he suffered in his final club match with Pumas, with the coaching staff maintaining a cautious approach ahead of the World Cup opener against Ghana on June 17, the Panama federation posted.

Carrasquilla continues to work separately from the group as he manages his recovery from a groin injury suffered in his final club match with Pumas, with coach Thomas Christiansen confirming the situation remains uncertain but expressing cautious optimism, according to Keish Gomez Munoz of ESPN. "All of them have had their recovery time and treatments. All are under the plan that has been proposed for these cases. Meija and Carrasquilla are working separately."

Carrasquilla (groin) has been called up for the World Cup despite a recent injury with his club, according to manager Thomas Christiansen, per Ole.US. "He suffered an injury in the last match against Cruz Azul, and after that gam,e we contacted him. Until yesterday, we did not have a report from his team. An injury cannot be diagnosed until 24 hours later. The images do not agree with the report that has been sent to us. It's an uncertain situation, I can't play to leave Carrasquilla out if he's going to arrive later. We have included it in the list, and if it does not arrive, you have a substitute. Let's all trust that he will reach the first match of the World Cup."

Carrasquilla suffered a physical issue during Sunday's Liga MX match against Cruz Azul, Medio Tiempo reports.
