Striker Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez should play for the Mexican national team at Copa America Centenario in June or the Rio Olympics in August, but not both, his club team’s sporting director said, according to ESPN.com.
“From our ideal point of view, for the club, it would be ideal if Chicharito played one of the two events, but not both,” Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Jonas Boldt said, according to the report. “That is our idea, although we have yet to sit and speak with our players. We have close to 10 players who could play at Copa America or the Olympic Games, and the club also have their own commitments.
