Mexico goalkeeper Luis Angel Malagon tears Achilles and will miss World Cup

Mexico goalkeeper Luis Angel Malagon ruptured his Achilles tendon while playing for Club America and will miss the World Cup. America confirmed the injury Wednesday and said the 29-year-old Malagon needs surgery, meaning he'll be sidelined when Mexico, the United States and Canada co-host the World Cup starting June 11. Malagon was injured Tuesday in the first half of a CONCACAF round-of-16 Champions Cup victory over the Philadelphia Union of the MLS.
