Guillermo Ochoa returns to the national team while Henry Martín and Hirving Lozano are ruled out due to injury
Manchester United FC v West Ham United FC - Premier League
WHAT HAPPENED?
Javier Aguirre has announced Mexico’s final 26-man roster for the Gold Cup, where El Tri will look to defend their 2023 title and claim their 10th championship under the tournament’s new format.
The squad includes key veterans such as Edson Alvarez, Raul Jimenez, and Santiago Gimenez, as well as the return of Guillermo Ochoa, who was not part of the recent Nations League campaign. Ochoa, currently playing for AVS in Portugal, is aiming to appear in his sixth World Cup, and this call-up keeps him firmly in the mix.
Notably, Aguirre’s list excludes players from Pachuca and Monterrey, as FIFA has prioritized the Club World Cup — also being held in the United States this summer — which both clubs will participate in.
On the injury front, Hirving Lozano and Henry Martín were ruled out on Wednesday due to physical issues, joining Jesús Angulo, who had previously been ruled out.
The players left out of the final roster are Emilio Lara, Juan Sanchez Purata, Gilberto Sepulveda, Ramon Juarez, and Jeremy Marquez. However, all five will still travel with the team for the upcoming friendlies against Switzerland (Saturday) and Turkey (Tuesday), as Aguirre wants to continue evaluating them.
After those matches, they will part ways with the squad.
