Although the Premier League was the first to refuse to hand over its players on FIFA , the “Tata” Martino and the Mexican Football Federation (FMF), decided to include it for these next matches. Without a doubt, it represents great news that the Wolverhampton striker is once again called upon by the national team after his skull fracture that excluded him from the courts for a long time.

The scandalous absences of Mexico
The delicate situation of Europe with FIFA has conditioned this round of qualifying rounds. El Tri will face their debut in the competition with important absences from the old continent. Hirving “Chucky” Lozano, Gerardo Arteaga, Héctor Herrera and Diego Lainez will not be present in the first three dates. Under these circumstances, a g ran number of Liga MX players was included in the call and up to 11 players who won the bronze medal in Tokyo 2020.
El Tri will host Jamaica on September 2 ; three days later he will visit Costa Rica and will finish this first round of matches against Panama on September 8.
