Tigres vs Santos: Injuries, Suspensions & Liga MX Matchday 5 Preview

Monterrey, Mexico – A highly anticipated clash between Tigres UANL and Santos Laguna is set to kick off the weekend’s Liga MX action this Friday, February 6th, at the Estadio Universitario, also known as “El Volcán.” Tigres will be looking to shake off any lingering fatigue from their recent goalless draw against Forge FC in the Concachampions.

Tigres currently sits in seventh place in the Liga MX Clausura standings with 7 points, achieved through two wins, one draw and one loss. They come into this match buoyed by a recent victory over León, but face a significant setback with the suspension of their captain and leading scorer.

Injured Players at Tigres

The Tigres infirmary is a concern, particularly in the defensive area, impacting long-term planning as the team works to regain physical condition after a busy schedule. Marco Farfán is confirmed to be sidelined with a fractured scaphoid in his right foot, requiring surgery. He is in the initial stages of rehabilitation and will miss Friday’s game, along with a considerable period of recovery.

Suspended Players for Tigres vs Santos

A red card has shaken up the Tigres squad this week. The team will be without André-Pierre Gignac, who received the first red card of his professional career during the final moments of their 2-1 victory over León, following a double yellow card. After 429 matches in Mexico without a dismissal, Gignac will serve a one-match suspension.
