Kevin Balanta
28-Year-Old
Santos Laguna
Liga MX
OUT
Injury Groin
Est. Return 1/9/2026
Leaves with injury in win
Balanta was forced off with muscle problems in the second half of Sunday's 1-0 win over Pachuca.
ANALYSIS
Balanta had a strong defensive performance but ended with some pain during his final game of the year. The central man was one of the most regular participants on a rather inconsistent back line, scoring one goal and averaging 5.9 clearances per game throughout the campaign. While the severity of his issue is unknown, he'll have plenty of time to recover before his team returns to activity. There could be changes to the roster by then, but currently, Jonathan Perez and Edson Gutierrez are potential replacements.
