The Wolves forward, Raúl Jiménez, will miss the first three matches that the Mexican National Team will play for the Concacaf Qualifiers towards the Qatar 2022 World Cup due to the travel rules imposed by England due to the COVID pandemic- 19. The Premier League officially decided not to lend to players who are called up by countries where infections are very high and who belong to a red list.

For a few weeks, the British government placed Mexico on this list, that is, the countries to which the residents of Great Britain should not travel due to the increase in infections of the new coronavirus. In turn, the people who arrive from these countries have to pass a quarantine before moving through the British territory.

Given this scenario, Gerardo Martino will not be able to summon Jiménez, since the Premier League released a statement at noon on Tuesday in which it shows that they will not loan Jiménez. "Premier League clubs have decided today reluctantly, but unanimously, not to release players for international matches played in red list countries next month" issued the release.

That said, the Mexican team makes its debut in the Qualifiers on the Azteca Stadium field against the Jamaica team on September 2. On September 5 and 8, Mexico will be measured as a visitor to Costa Rica and Panama, respectively. It should be noted that both are countries that are also on Great Britain's red list, and they would suffer the same fate as Raúl Jiménez with their figures.
