Defenders Israel Reyes, Rodrigo Huecas and Jesus Orozco Chiquete. Midfielders Gilberto Mora (a 17-year-old talent) and Luis Chavez. Forwards Alexis Vega (two-time winner of Liga MX Club Toluca), Cesar \u201cChino\u201d Huerta and Santiago Jimenez (currently with Milan in Serie A). A player who has left professional soccer activities.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Javier Aguirre optimistic for 2026 World Cup<\/h2>\n<p>The outlook for the Mexican national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup looks mixed, but the coach has decided to put a good face on the bad moments and wait until the last moment when FIFA will give the final list, hoping that the best players can recover and prove the level that will earn them a spot on the final list for the World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Without a doubt, none of these players would want to miss the most important football event, especially if it is held in their home country. Some of these players may not be able to play due to the severity of their injuries, but others could recover in just a few months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/world-cup\/2026\/01\/28\/6979fa2bca4741fe358b4580.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TIt was once home to the Mexican national team, long considered the giants of Concacaf.
