Mexico winger Jesus 'Tecatito' Corona will miss
this year's World Cup after suffering a broken leg and a torn left ankle
ligament in training with his club, Sevilla said on Thursday.
The Spanish club said the player would undergo
surgery in the afternoon and added that "in principle, this type of injury
requires a recovery period of between four and five months."
Tecatito, who is 29, joined Sevilla from Porto in
January.
He has played 71 times for Mexico, scoring 10
goals.
He made two appearances, both off the bench, at
the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
