Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino has yet to define which players will be on the final call-up list to face the last three matches for the World Cup qualifiers in March. The Argentinean coach will have to call up new players due to the absence of Andrés Guardado from Betis, Rogelio Funes Mori from Monterrey and Julio César 'Cata' Domínguez from Cruz Azul.

What is the injury that sidelined captain Andrés Guardado in the match against the USMNT?

Mexicans playing in Europe, such as Chucky Lozano, Tecatito, Héctor Herrera, Diego Lainez, Néstor Araujo, and Orbelín Pineda, will remain on Tata Martino's roster for the upcoming matches as they seek to consolidate their direct pass to the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
