The cement team has no plans to seek to cover the loss of ‘Toro’ Fernández, who has already undergone surgery for the injury he suffered in his knee.
MEXICO.- The sources consulted by ESPN assured this medium that Cruz Azul will not bring anyone to replace forward Gabriel ‘Toro’ Fernández, since the board of directors and coaching staff trust in the elements of forces that have played in the zone of attack covering the gap left by the Uruguayan footballer.
Coach Martín Anselmi has used Alexis Gutiérrez in the hook position, but has also given opportunities to youth players Mateo Levy, 17, and Amaury Morales, 18, to accompany the experienced Ángel Sepúlveda on the offensive front.

Cruz Azul: ‘Toro’ Fernández, successfully operated on his knee
Forward Gabriel Fernández underwent successful knee surgery, eleven days after the serious injury he suffered in the February 10 match against Atlético de San Luis.
‘Toro’ Fernández underwent surgery this morning by orthopedist Rafael Ortega at his clinic in Guadalajara to repair the cruciate ligaments and meniscus of the Cruz Azul player’s right knee.
The surgery took longer than expected to be performed because Ortega was at a medical conference abroad and just this week he returned to Mexico.
The 29-year-old attacker will begin a long rehabilitation process with the aim of playing again this year. In the best scenario, sources consulted by ESPN assured, Fernández would play again in the month of September, but the return to the fields “will depend on his body and recovery.”
