Andres Guardado- Deportivo La Coruña (Mexsport)
Injury layoffs are never a good thing, but can prove to be confidence-boosting experiences. Such is the case for Andres Guardado, who was feared lost for up to or even more than six weeks with ligament damage. But a careless tackle in a league match last month resulted in four league games lost, but no more. Guardado may still not be 90-minutes match fit but he can now work on his fitness while helping his club at the same time.
