Dos Santos brothers to join Mexican team for World Cup qualifiers

Gio and Jonathan dos Santos, brothers and teammates with the Galaxy, have both been called up to the Mexican national team for next month’s World Cup qualifiers with Panama and Costa Rica.

Both are expected to play in Sunday’s MLS game against San Jose at the StubHub Center before heading to Mexico City for training.

Also named to the roster was LAFC attacker Carlos Vela, currently playing for Real Sociedad in Spain, and forward Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez, Mexico’s all-time leading scorer. Hernandez has two goals in as many games this season for West Ham United in the English Premier League.
