The problems that Alexis Vega has had again to reach his best physical shape could open the door for César “Chino” Huerta to get on the Mexico World Cup truck, after the Anderlecht forward was called up to the Tricolor at the last minute.

Huerta was ruled out of being included in the list of players who are concentrated and who this Thursday will travel to Los Angeles for Saturday's duel at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, against Australia in the penultimate game of the preparation program of the national team's coaching staff.

Huerta along with Raúl Jiménez will be the new additions to the list of selected players who are still looking for a place in the national team, where several of the names they have considered as options for the final list cannot be ruled out either.

Javier Aguirre is too concerned about the situation of Alexis Vega, who has not been able to reach physical fitness, and that has led to a last-minute call-up to César Huerta, who arrives with a work rate having played in his team's last five games in the Belgian league and could be an important variant for the World Cup.

The versions claim that Alexis Vega has not been able to overcome the injury to his roller and that has the coaching staff of the Mexican team busy, so, if Vega does not improve in the match against Australia, he will be permanently left out for the World Cup and César Huerta will take his place.

Alexis Vega did not shine against Ghana

The versions claim that Javier Aguirre was not satisfied with Vega's work against Ghana, but they attributed this to the ailments he still has in his knee, which was checked in the middle of the tournament and which sometimes causes him to limp.

They are reminded that Vega underwent surgery to overcome the problems that prevented him from playing at his level in the final against Tigres last December and that now they have caused him discomfort again, which is why they have turned to Chino Huerta.

Vega's question opens up many options, such as the call of César Huerta or that Edson Álvarez and Luis Romo are options as replacements for César Montes and Johan Vázquez and even that Alejandro Gómez would also be a viable option.
