As Chicharito is ruled out of El Tri, Martino's thoughts on calling up Vela

An absence that was known by many and that even Gerardo Martino, coach of the Mexican national team, announced during the Media Day of El Tri's tour of the United States was precisely that of Chicharito Hernandez.

In that sense, the Argentinean coach confirmed through his roster that Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez is not among the main elements of the team for the next World Cup. According to Martino himself, the LA Galaxy player will not be included due to tactical preferences despite being the top scorer in Major League Soccer with his club.

On the other hand, Carlos Vela's situation is one of the most unique cases in recent national team history. Rarely has it been heard of a player who has no intention of representing his country's national team. The player assured that it would be unfair since he did not participate in the process leading to the World Cup and does not intend to take the place of any player.

What does Gerardo Martino think about calling Vela?

According to Martino's own words during the Mexican national team's Media Day, Carlos Vela was in the Mexican team's plans, but the refusal came from the player, as he did not want to make the trip and concentration and also for not slowing down the impetus of young players.
