While Martino ignores him, Wolves give the best news to Santi Gimenez
Gerardo Martino ignores Santiago Gimenez and Wolves give the best news to the Chaquito
Santiago Gimenez has been the big absentee in Gerardo Martino's call-up for the 2022 World Cup. The Feyenoord player did not end up counting for the Argentine coach for Qatar 2022 and preferred to take the injured Raul Jimenez of Wolverhampton instead of the 'Chaquito'.
In this situation, there is annoyance and disagreement from the current team where Raul Jimenez plays because they were not aware that the striker was going to have minutes so quickly. In fact, the team's coach, Julen Lopetegui, stated that he cares more about Wolverhampton than the World Cup.

In that sense, the team has provided the Mexican national team with a detailed report on Raul Jimenez and his physical condition after he had minutes in the friendly in Sweden. If the player becomes physically unwell, the team would request Jimenez's return to England and Santiago Gimenez would be called upon to replace him, according to TUDN.
Does Gimenez depend on Raul's injury?
It will be extremely complicated because once the World Cup starts, few changes can be made to the squad. However, Jimenez's fitness should be determined in the coming days and Santiago Gimenez would get his chance if the Wolves player is not cleared to compete.
