César Huerta, a Mexican international, has returned to Pumas UNAM in Mexico after a challenging spell at RSC Anderlecht. Initially a highly anticipated recruit, Huerta's time in Europe was plagued by injuries, including a significant back issue, and a failure to meet expectations, despite early interest from clubs like Liverpool. He even participated in the 2026 World Cup for Mexico. Following his return to Anderlecht and the arrival of Vitor Bruno, coupled with further physical setbacks, Huerta was moved on. He recently made his first appearance for Pumas UNAM, playing 20 minutes against Atlas Guadalajara. His coach, Esteban Solari, confirmed this limited playtime was a deliberate strategy to help Huerta regain confidence and fitness after his injury. Huerta previously had a successful stint with Pumas, scoring 20 goals and providing 15 assists in 87 matches.
