Pumas and Cruz Azul clash in CU with several injury absences

Injury report rules out several starters for Pumas and Cruz Azul

Pumas and Cruz Azul will face off at the Estadio Olimpico Universitario on Sunday night in a highly anticipated Liga MX match, but both teams will be missing several key players due to injury. Pumas will be without the services of defender Arturo Ortiz, midfielders Leonel Lopez and Sebastian Saucedo, and forward Juan Dinenno. Cruz Azul, meanwhile, will be without defender Juan Escobar, midfielders Rafael Baca and Erik Lira, and forward Santiago Gimenez.

Pumas looking to extend unbeaten run

The absences of Ortiz, Lopez, Saucedo, and Dinenno are a big blow to Pumas, who are currently unbeaten in their last five matches. Ortiz is a key part of the team's defense, while Lopez, Saucedo, and Dinenno are all important contributors to the team's attack. Cruz Azul, meanwhile, will be without Escobar, Baca, Lira, and Gimenez as they look to bounce back from a disappointing 1-0 loss to Club America last weekend.

Cruz Azul hoping to avoid another setback

The absences of Escobar, Baca, Lira, and Gimenez are a big blow to Cruz Azul, who are already struggling to find their form this season. Escobar is a key part of the team's defense, while Baca, Lira, and Gimenez are all important contributors to the team's attack. Pumas will be looking to take advantage of Cruz Azul's injury woes and extend their unbeaten run to six matches. Cruz Azul, meanwhile, will be hoping to avoid another setback as they look to get their season back on track.
