Independiente Santa Fe is facing a setback ahead of an important match against Once Caldas on July 16, as they confirmed that Harold Santiago Mosquera will be sidelined due to injury. The 30-year-old winger is dealing with a muscular fatigue in his left adductor, as announced by the club’s communications department.
Santa Fe is entering a crucial stage of the cuadrangulares, where every match is pivotal, especially with their hopes of reaching the final of the Liga BetPlay 2025-1. The absence of Mosquera, who has recorded five assists in the Apertura 2025, is a significant blow for the team. Omar Fernández leads the assists chart for the team with six.
The current standings in Group A show Millonarios and Santa Fe tied with six points each, while Atlético Nacional follows closely with five points, and Once Caldas at three points. In this critical match, Santa Fe needs a strong performance to maintain their chances for the championship.
Interestingly, while Mosquera’s absence is a disappointment, the club has not ruled out his participation in the future classic against Millonarios in Week 6 of the cuadrangulares, depending on his recovery.
The situation underscores the intensity of the competition where injuries can have substantial implications for a team’s success. As Santa Fe prepares for the decisive match at El Campín stadium, fans remain hopeful that the team can rally and perform despite the challenges.
