Tigres have announced that striker Andre-Pierre Gignac is a doubt for the second leg of the 2016 Apertura final against Club America on Sunday. Gignac, 31, scored in the 45th minute of Tigres' 1-1 draw at America but had to be stretchered off with 14 minutes remaining after colliding with Bruno Valdez. "For me it was a normal collision," Valdez said. "It wasn't intentionally done." Tigres announced on their Twitter account that the France international suffered a "grade-2 cervical sprain," leaving him doubtful for the second leg of the Liga MX final this weekend at Estadio Universitario. Being without Gignac would be a setback for coach Ricardo Ferretti, with the forward having scored six times in the Liguilla.
