"He heard a pop after landing awkwardly and couldn't walk," Pachuca team doctor Fernando Marquez said in a statement.
Local media reported that Arroyo is expected to be sidelined for six to eight weeks.
Pachuca is currently 11th in Mexico's 18-team Liga MX standings with eight points from seven games. ■
