The great start to the season that I was having Hirving “Chucky” Lozano The match was put on hold on Friday after PSV Eindhoven announced that the Mexican striker would be out of action indefinitely due to a muscle injury.
This announcement, which the Dutch club made on its social media, casts doubt on the presence of the Aztec striker in the first match of the revamped edition of the Champions League that PSV will be playing next Tuesday, September 17, at the home of Juventus in Turin.

The Mexican began to take advantage of the opportunities he received to play early on and scored a double in the first match of the tournament, helping PSV to win over Waalwijk (5-1) and subsequently scored in consecutive matches against Almere City (1-7) and Go Ahead Eagles (3-0).
The Mexican has only scored a goalless goal in his team’s 1-3 victory over Heracles, in which he also started the match on the bench but then came on in the second half.
