Funes Mori shudders, unscheduled striker to join El Tri just days before the World Cup

The Mexican national team is already in Girona preparing for a new World Cup. Gerardo Martino's team is in a training camp in Spain before traveling to Qatar where they will play the 2022 World Cup. In that sense, several players are fine-tuning details to be able to arrive once and for all to the competition in the best possible way.

One of the elements that has generated the most surprise due to his call-up is precisely forward Rogelio Funes Mori. The Monterrey striker has been criticized for being one of the players called up when there are other players who have contributed more lately. However, a last minute surprise could leave Funes Mori without minutes in Qatar.

Raul Jimenez's injury is a reality and it is very likely that the Mexican striker will not end up traveling to Qatar. Jimenez already acknowledged in an interview that he will eventually decide whether or not he will be in the World Cup. That is why Martino has already promoted a striker who is not Funes Mori and is having a great season in Europe.

Which player will fight for Funes Mori's spot?

With the loss of Jimenez, it is normal that Rogelio Funes Mori will be the starter in Qatar 2022. However, Gerardo Martino has been impressed by the qualities of Santiago Gimenez at Feyenoord and would put him as the reference in attack for Qatar 2022. In an interview with the national team's media, the Argentinian even mentioned him as an example for young Mexicans.
