Armando “Hormiga” Gonzalez and Obed Vargas, finally, appeared on the list of 26 players called up by the Mexican national team for the FIFA dates against Uruguay and Paraguay, where the presence of Gilberto Mora and Jorge also stands out. Ruvalcaba, as well as the continued presence of Chucky Lozano.

In this way, national team coach Javier Aguirre resolved the various absences of players such as Alexis Vega, Cesar “Chino” Huerta, Julian Quinones, and Santiago Gimenez, who could not be considered due to different injuries and which forced the national coach to adjust the Mexican roster to make room for these players.

In addition, the list highlights the continuity of Hirving Lozano, who, after reappearing with the Tricolor in the last FIFA window, was once again involved in a disciplinary problem with his club, San Diego FC, being relegated by coach Mikey Varas, but later forgiven to play in the playoffs against the Portland Timbers, who surely earned him his inclusion again on the Mexican team's roster.

Under this scenario, the Mexican national team will seek to recover the credibility that has been damaged in the last four matches against the Asian rivals Japan and Korea when they face Uruguay and Paraguay. From the South, where they could only manage 2-2 and 0-0 draws respectively, leaving behind a trail of doubts that worsened with the 4-0 defeat to Colombia, and which showed signs of a slight recovery in the last game against Ecuador with the 1-1 draw.

However, the task will not be complicated, as Uruguay and Paraguay will be very difficult rivals, especially after both teams were among the six CONMEBOL qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup along with Argentina, Ecuador, Colombia, and Brazil, so the Mexicans will need a strong attitude to succeed.

Memo Ochoa continues to be left out
