Jesus Alberto Angulo

ANALYSIS
Angulo has been a reliable member of Tigres' back line when healthy, helping in both central and wide spots, so losing him for what could be an extended multi-surgery rehabilitation process is a significant blow to the club heading into the Apertura campaign. An arthroscopy alone is typically a minor procedure with a short recovery, but the fact that Tigres are already scheduling a follow-up operation suggests the knee issue is more complex than a routine cleanup and that the medical team is managing a broader structural problem. With Osvaldo Rodriguez having also undergone knee surgery recently, Tigres must turn to other defensive options such as Vladimir Lorona and Juan Jose Purata in the short term.
