Mexican striker Alexis Vega, captain of Toluca, suffered a muscle injury that will keep him out of the last two games of the regular Liga MX Apertura 2025 tournament.
The institution confirmed that he will not be able to play against Atlas and America, directly affecting his participation and connection with the Hispanic community in the U.S., which closely follows his performance.
Nature and severity of the injury
Coach Antonio Mohamed informed that Alexis Vega presented a muscular problem in the semitendinosus muscle of his left thigh.
In addition to having had previous complications in the right knee with joint effusion.
As a result, the club evaluates that the player will be out for at least 3 to 4 weeks, which compromises his condition for the Liguilla.
Consequences for Toluca
Buzzy
For Toluca, the loss of its offensive leader and key player at key moments is an emotional and tactical blow.
The absence of Alexis Vega is forcing the team to adapt quickly to maintain their privileged position.
For the Latino community in the United States, this represents a severing of the link with one of the most visible players connecting Mexican soccer with the Hispanic diaspora.
Furthermore, if Vega does not regain his best form for the final phase, Toluca’s competitiveness in the Liguilla and its projection towards international competitions could be compromised.
What’s next for Vega and the club?

Toluca has already secured its place in the next phase, but without Alexis Vega it will have to face Atlas on Matchday 16 and América on Matchday 17 without its captain.
The team aims to have him available for the quarterfinals of the tournament, scheduled for the end of November.
The recovery will be key to define if Vega will be available for the postseason and to reinforce the projection he had in Liga MX 2025.
