The Basque did not call upon references such as Hirving Lozano, Raul Jimenez and Guillermo Ochoaamong others. And another Mexican leader who will not be on the field this Tuesday is Edson Álvarez.
Why isn’t Edson Álvarez playing in Mexico vs. Canada for the international friendly?
Edson Álvarez will not play with Mexico against Canada because he was not called up by Javier Aguirre. This is due to the few minutes that the midfielder played at the start of this season.
Let’s remember that Edson Álvarez was injured in the Copa América and only started playing again with West Ham at the end of AugustFor this reason, the Basque preferred to protect the midfielder.
Looking ahead to the next FIFA date in October, in which the Mexican National Team will play against the United States and Valencia of Spainand if Edson Álvarez stays healthy and getting minutes with West Ham, it is almost certain that the midfielder will be called up again.
