Multiple news outlets are reporting Rodolfo Pizarro has a fractured fibula and will head back to Mexico to get treatment. His Olympics are over and he will face a 3-5 month recovery time before being able to suit up for Pachuca or El Tri. The 22 year old was a likely candidate to be called up by senior national team coach Juan Carlos Osorio for the friendlies in October.

In addition to Pizarro being sent home, Oribe Peralta suffered a fractured nose and could very well join him on the same flight home. The Club America striker suffered the injury during the game but played all 90 minutes and had two assists.
