LOS ANGELES – Uriel Antuna is impressing with the LA Galaxy and it’s drawing the attention of Mexico head coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino.

Speaking at a press conference in Atlanta, Martino told reporters that he is “monitoring” Antuna for the Mexican National Team’s 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup roster. Antuna, a former Mexico youth international, has impressed with the Galaxy this season with one goal and one assist in nine appearances for Los Angeles.
