Some players from Mexico national team are worried about the matches played during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mexico national team played last Saturday the first match of the FIFA International break of November. The team coached by Gerardo Martino defeated South-Korea 3-2 and will now be playing against Japan in their next appearance. But there are some Mexican players mad with the Federation.

During the hours before the game it was rumored that the match could be postponed as many South-Korean players were infected from COVID-19. Finally, they were isolated and the rival of Mexico presented a team with some absences and a lot of preoccupation for the other members of the squad.


At the end, Mexico was required a test with a negative result to enter Austria, but the problems occurred with their rivals and not with them. This situation provoked that some Mexican players were suspicious on the hours before the game, concerned about their health.


Mexico played two matches during October, against Netherlands (1-0) and Argelia (2-2). This was their first presentation since then, and they defeated South-Korea on a tough match with goals from Raúl Jiménez, Uriel Antuna and Carlos Salcedo. This Tuesday they’ll face Japan in the last game of the year for them.
