Mexico's Montes fractures leg
Jun 1, 2014 - 10:00 PM Luis Montes will not compete for Mexico at the World Cup in Brazil after suffering a serious leg fracture during a 3-1 victory over Ecuador in a friendly on Saturday.Midfielder Montes had just scored the goal that put Mexico in front two minutes earlier when he collided with Ecuador's Segundo Castillo during a race for a loose ball.
Montes was carted off in obvious pain on a stretcher in front of the pro-Mexican crowd of almost 85,000 at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium.
Israel Marquez, a spokesman for the Mexican Football Federation, said on his Twitter account that "it seems a fractured tibia and fibula".
