Cesar Huerta is perhaps the only member of the "Foreign Legion" who has fewer chances of being called up by Javier Aguirre for the 2026 World Cup after the long absence he had from the Anderlecht lineup due to a pubalgia problem that He was allowed to return to training this Thursday. For that reason, upon returning to training with the Belgian team, the Mexican forward expressed his excitement about achieving his dream of participating in the World Cup, and will try to work hard in the time remaining before the Mexican coach announces the final roster on June 1st. The Mexican winger resumed training after receiving medical clearance with the clear objective of 'Chino' to regain his best form and convince Javier Aguirre to include him in the final World Cup squad. Huerta's absence is nearly half a year due to a persistent pubalgia problem that abruptly sidelined him. The issue seemed to resolve itself in a few weeks, only to flare up again in others, to the point that the team suggested surgery. However, they ultimately opted for rehabilitation, similar to the situation that sidelined Gilberto Mora of Xolos Tijuana. On the positive side, RSCA reported that the Mexican striker is now training with his teammates and could be considered by coach Jeremy Taravel to get some playing time, which is great news for the plans of the player nicknamed "Chino." Huerta's European journey hasn't been without its challenges. Since 2024, he has played 33 matches, scoring five goals and providing three assists, which began to earn him playing time and the confidence of the coaching staff until the unfortunate news of his pubalgia injury.

Cesar will have to put his heart and soul into his comeback, because so far the players slated to be called up from the Foreign Legion have a certain advantage, although his case seems similar to that of Santiago Gimenez at AC Milan, Edson Alvarez at Fenerbahce and Luis Chavez at Dynamo Moscow, who had to overcome injuries and are now fighting for a place in the World Cup.
