According to Tata Martino himself, any player who is eligible for the Mexican national team would be considered, in this case, André-Pierre Gignac and Julio Furch could be called up, however, the Atlas player still needs to go through a final process to obtain his papers to become a naturalized Mexican player.
On the other hand, in the case of André-Pierre Gignac, who does have his Mexican papers, he does not have FIFA's permission, as the Mexican national team must send a letter to know the eligibility of the Tigres forward to be called up to El Tri.
