Rómulo Zwarg, Tigres' Brazilian holding midfielder, announced on Tuesday that he has undergone surgery on his left ankle. The injury, a persistent discomfort from the early stages of the Apertura 2025, prompted him to delay the procedure until after the final.

Via Instagram stories, Zwarg posted images of the ganglion on his ankle and a photo from his hospital bed. He captioned it with: "hoping for a quick recovery", signaling his optimism for a swift return.

The surgery occurred post-final, allowing the player to prioritize his health after the season's end. As of 7:00 PM, Club Tigres had not issued official statements on whether the operation took place in Monterrey or Brazil, his home country.

This procedure aims to address the issue that hampered his performance throughout the tournament. As a vital part of Tigres' midfield, Zwarg now embarks on a recovery phase that may influence his readiness for the next Liga MX competition.
