The problems you have had again Alexis Vega to reach your best physical shape could open the door to César “Chino” Huerta to get on the Mexico World Cup truck, after the Anderlecht striker was called up to the Tricolor at the last minute.
Huerta was ruled out from being included in the list of players who are concentrated and who will travel to Los Angeles this Thursday for Saturday’s matchup at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, against Australia in the penultimate game of the preparation program for the national team’s technical staff.

Javier Aguirre has too much concern about the situation of Alexis Vega, who has not been able to reach physical fulfillment, and that has led to César Huerta being summoned at the last minute, who arrives with a work pace having played in his team’s last five games in the Belgian league and could be an important variant for the World Cup.

Alexis Vega did not shine against Ghana
The versions claim that Javier Aguirre was not satisfied with Vega’s work against Ghana, but they attributed it to the ailments which he still has in the knee that was checked in the middle of the tournament and which sometimes causes him to limp.
They are reminded that Vega underwent surgery to overcome the problems that prevented him from playing at his level in the final against Tigres last December and now they have bothered him again, which is why they have turned to Chino Huerta.
Vega’s question opens up many options, such as César Huerta’s call or that Edson Álvarez and Luis Romo are options as replacements for César Montes and Johan Vázquez and even that Alejandro Gómez would also be a viable option.
