Juan Carlos Osorio explains Tecatito omission, Cuernavaca trainings

The Mexico coach didn't call Jesus Corona or Marco Fabian for this month's qualifiers, but both played this weekend.

Porto winger Jesus "Tecatito" Corona missed out on a call to the Mexican national team for World Cup qualifiers this month against Costa Rica and Honduras, an omission that seemed to be because of injury.

But the plot thickened on Sunday, when Tecatito started and smashed in a lovely volley in his club side's draw with Setubal.

Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio clarified that while Corona and Frankfurt midfielder Marco Fabian both were able to return to action this weekend, El Tri agreed they'd be best served staying with their clubs to fully recuperate.
