Marcel Ruiz approaches his return to Toluca after knee injury

When Marcel Ruiz, midfielder of the Toluca Red Devils, suffered a knee injury, it seemed like he was saying goodbye to the 2026 World Cup. However, the final diagnosis has given new hope. A partial rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and an injury to the medial meniscus of the right knee have been confirmed, opening up the possibility of his return. With less than two months until the start of the tournament, Ruiz is preparing to rejoin the team.

Return to training with Toluca

According to reporter Javier Rojas, Ruiz will travel with the team to the United States to face the Los Angeles Galaxy in the Concacaf Champions League. It is expected that he will be able to train normally and, if all goes well, he could return to action on April 18 against the Águilas del América. If he does not play that match, he would return in Matchday 16 against the Cañoneros de Mazatlán on April 22.

Recovery process and expectations

The hopes of seeing Marcel Ruiz back on the field have been strengthened over time. The Mexican player is making an effort in his rehabilitation to compete once again. Toluca and their fans eagerly await the return of this talented player, who, despite the injury, still holds onto the possibility of being part of the 2026 World Cup.
