On 16 June 2007, he suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury for second time in his career, in the 2–0 victory over Coquimbo Unido for the Apertura's last game, although after a scan it was revealed to be not as bad as first thought, with Católica optimistic that he would return before the early of the next season.
