Called up for World Cup
Carrasquilla (groin) has been called up for the World Cup despite a recent injury with his club, according to manager Thomas Christiansen, per Ole.US. "He suffered an injury in the last match against Cruz Azul, and after that gam,e we contacted him. Until yesterday, we did not have a report from his team. An injury cannot be diagnosed until 24 hours later. The images do not agree with the report that has been sent to us. It's an uncertain situation, I can't play to leave Carrasquilla out if he's going to arrive later. We have included it in the list, and if it does not arrive, you have a substitute. Let's all trust that he will reach the first match of the World Cup."
Analysis: Carrasquilla had to leave his last league match ahead of the World Cup with an injury, but he has still been called up for the tournament. This comes despite no clear diagnosis, as the team is instead taking the risk of involving one of their key players, even with some uncertainty around him. He will likely be set for a few days or a week of recovery before potentially joining the team for further training, although any inclusion in friendlies is probably unlikely.
Leaves with injury versus Cruz Azul
Carrasquilla suffered a physical issue during Sunday's Liga MX match against Cruz Azul, Medio Tiempo reports.
Analysis: Carrasquilla's forced exit came after an intense tackle, but he seemed to feel groin pain, suggesting a more complex situation that could put his World Cup participation in doubt. The midfielder has been a key contributor for Pumas in terms of playmaking and ball recovery over the entire 2025/26 period, in which he tallied two goals and six assists across 37 appearances. He's expected to play a significant role in Panama's lineup at the World Cup, but a serious injury would lead to a change in favor of Cristian Martinez.
