Realized he can't play for El Tri, resigns from World Cup after Peru match
Mexican national team member who realized he is not ready for the World Cup and would resign from Mexico
The Mexican National Team faced the Peruvian National Team in a friendly match held in California. In this match, the Mexican team dominated possession in many stretches in a first half where the tie stood out on the scoreboard between Mexicans and Peruvians. However, the news came from a center forward who is on the verge of quitting a few months before the World Cup.
In an interview with TUDN, striker Raúl Jiménez assured that he is not so sure if he will be able to make it to Qatar 2022. It is that the injury issue is already taking its toll on him. However, the player would like to keep practicing and make a space for himself.

Gerardo Martino is already aware of this and that is why he is looking to reinforce with other elements and is already testing them for the friendly match against Peru. Raul Jimenez is the team's first-choice striker and that is why he could appear as the big loss in the team during Qatar 2022.
Who will replace Raul Jimenez?
To the surprise of many, Henry Martin was a starter in the Mexican national team's match against Peru. The Club America striker was already the center forward in the Olympic Games and could be the reference in attack for Martino during Qatar 2022. All this in view of the poor condition of his protégé Rogelio Funes Mori.
