Luis Ruiz Suspended for Three Months After Causing Serious Injury to Cristian Bermudez
Luis Ruiz, the 22-year-old defender for Dorados de Sinaloa, has received a three-month suspension from the Mexican Football Federation following a severe injury inflicted upon Atlante's Cristian Bermudez. The incident occurred during a Mexican second division match on September 13, where Ruiz's tackle resulted in Bermudez suffering a double fracture to his lower right leg.
In addition to the suspension, Ruiz has been handed a four-match ban due to the red card he received for the tackle, meaning he will not be eligible to return to the field until 2025. The tackle was reported to the Disciplinary Committee by Atlante, prompting a thorough investigation that included interviews and medical report reviews.
Cristian Bermudez, aged 37, underwent surgery to repair fractures in both his fibula and tibia, but unfortunately, there is currently no set timeline for his return to competitive play. The football community is rallying around Bermudez as he begins his recovery from this traumatic injury.
