Raúl Jiménez suffered a tremendous injury in a critical moment. The attacker was going through a great present, but crashed his head with David Luiz in Arsenal-Wolverhampton match and won’t be playing soon. He will be at least a couple of weeks outside the field.

Meanwhile, Gerardo Martino is already thinking on who could replace him on Mexico national team. Not because there are any matches next in the fixture for the Tri, but just because of a thing with such conditions happen in the future. Despite some rumors, a name appears in the list of possible replacements.

The first possible one is Henry Martin, Club America striker who has already received some call-up for the national team and could perfectly occupy his position. But if Martino goes and play, someone should occupy his place in the bench. That one could be Rogelio Funes Mori.

He was once set to play with Lionel Messi at Argentina national team, where he made his debut on September 2012, but he never played back and the possibilities of him nationalizing are concrete. Funes Mori plays for Monterrey since 2015, and he previously did it in River Plate former side, Benfica, Eskisehirspor and Monterrey.
