Naturalized Mexican Argentine German Berterame, of Rayados del Monterrey, and Armando “Hormiga” Gonzalez, of Chivas, became the main surprises on Mexico national team roster for the training microcycle scheduled for next week ahead of the FIFA date in early September.

Both players top a 23-player roster that, according to the plans of the Mexican team’s coaching staff, led by Javier Aguirre, could use any member of the Liga MX teams; ultimately opted to call up players who had not been considered for the team.

The 23-player list also does not include Gilberto Mora of Xolos de Tijuana or Hugo Camberos of Chivas, nor does Amaury Morales of Cruz Azul, players who apparently will be part of the team that will participate in the U-20 World Cup to be held at the end of September.

Even these players will not be taken into account for the FIFA date against Japan and South Korea scheduled between September 1 and 9, nor for the October games of the national team that will participate in the next World Cup in June to be held for the first time in history in Mexico, the United States and Canada.

These players will look to get on the World Cup bus, especially because the options to be called up in the FIFA preparation match schedule are increasingly running out, where only the dates of next October and March remain before facing the World Cup.
