Rogelio Funes Mori will finally be replaced as Mexico National Team starter striker for the next match

One thing has been clear in the recent games Mexico National Team has played: Rogelio Funes Mori is not the striker that El Tri needs, and his calling looks more like a whim of Gerardo “Tata” Martino than a real attempt to try to solve the lack of goals that El Tri is facing.

But according to reports, after the exhibition “El Mellizo” gave against Costa Rica, where he couldn’t score and even took away a goal from El Tri as he was offside, “Tata” Martino finally understood that Funes Mori’s appearances are on detriment of Mexico National Team performances.

Gerardo Martino is considering starting Raúl Jiménez in the last game of the FIFA match window against Panama, given the urgency to score. Jiménez hasn’t played since January 15 in Premier League in the 3-1 victory of Wolves against Southampton as he’s been dealing with a muscular injury.

Will he be ready for the game against Panama?

El Tri will face Panama on Wednesday night on a game that Martino labeled as “a Final”, given the importance it will have to El Tri’s aspirations to access directly to the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Luckily for him, Raúl Jiménez has overcome the injury that kept him sidelined for three games.
