André-Pierre Gignac Returns to Ignite Tigres’ Playoff Campaign
Tigres UANL fans have a reason to celebrate as the team gears up for the Apertura 2024 quarterfinals. The French striker André-Pierre Gignac, a pivotal figure in Tigres’ attacking lineup, is back in full training after recovering from a muscle injury. His return bolsters the squad's confidence ahead of their crucial matchup against Atlético San Luis.
Gignac had been sidelined for several weeks, sparking concerns about his availability for the playoffs. His injury forced him to train separately, and his participation in the first leg was uncertain. However, after intensive rehabilitation and careful management by the team’s medical staff, the Frenchman rejoined his teammates during Sunday’s training session at the Tigres’ training center in San Nicolás. Reports from team insiders confirm that Gignac completed all exercises alongside the squad, signaling his readiness to contribute on the pitch.

The timing of Gignac's return couldn't be better. Tigres head coach Veljko Paunovic has been working to optimize the team’s performance following a three-week hiatus due to the international break. This period saw several players, including Guido Pizarro and Rafael Carioca, overcoming fitness issues. With Gignac back in the fold, Tigres is nearing full strength, except for the absence of Rafael Guerrero.
This boost in firepower will be critical as Tigres takes on Atlético San Luis in the quarterfinals. Known for his leadership and knack for scoring in high-stakes games, Gignac’s presence is expected to elevate the team’s play. The first leg is scheduled for November 27 at the Estadio Alfonso Lastras, with the return leg at Tigres’ iconic Volcán on November 30. Tigres fans will be eagerly watching as their team, with Gignac leading the charge, aims to secure a spot in the semifinals and continue their pursuit of the Apertura 2024 title.
Tigres’ resilience and depth will be tested, but with Gignac back on the pitch, their chances look brighter than ever.
