The bad news keeps getting worse for Mexican football: Barcelona's central defender Ráfa Márquez went down with a knee injury in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinal against Chelsea. The preliminary indication is an injury to the meniscus of the left knee. What made it especially unfortunate was that Márquez had not been under contact; rather, the ground gave way under him as he made a move with the ball in the center of the field.
It looks like Márquez could be out for the rest of the season (four rounds left), and he may be out for the June qualifiers as well. Mexico might miss him against El Salvador, but not against Trinidad & Tobago.
