Terrible news for the Mexican national team. Mexican striker Raúl Jiménez has been injured with Wolves after suffering a knee and abductor injury in the friendly against Besiktas. Thus, it is reported that the player could be out for at least 8 weeks.

Given this news that alarms Gerardo Martino and his coaching staff, taking into account the proximity of the next World Cup, the coach is already considering opening the doors to Javier Chicharito Hernandez to appear on the scene. Friendly matches are coming up in August and September, so Mexico already has to define its team.
