Mexico has named the official squad that will take part in the 2021 Gold Cup. Mexico is going with a very close to an A squad, as a combination of the best available in the senior national team in addition to the players that didn’t make the U24 squad that will be playing the Tokyo Olympic Games. Mexico is the defending champion, and will make their debut on July 10 against the winner of a preliminary series that will take play next week.
The call up list is the following:
Goalkeepers: Alfredo Talavera (Pumas), Rodolfo Cota (Leon), Jonathan Orozco (Tijuana)
Defenders: Nestor Araujo (Celta de Vigo), Hector Moreno (Monterrey), Luis Rodriguez (Tigres), Jesus Gallardo (Monterrey), Kevin Alvarez (Pachuca), Carlos Salcedo (Tigres), Osvaldo Rodriguez (Leon), Gilberto Sepulveda (Chivas)
Midfielders: Hector Herrera (Atletico Madrid), Edson Alvarez (Ajax), Erick Gutierrez (PSV Eindhoven), Jonathan Dos Santos (LA Galaxy), Orbelin Pineda (Cruz Azul), Erick Sanchez (Pachuca), Efrain Alvarez (LA Galaxy), Alan Cervantes (Santos),
Forwards: Hirving Lozano (Napoli), Jesus Corona (Porto), Rogelio Funes Mori (Monterrey), Alan Pulido (Sporting Kansas City)
The most notable thing is that Javier Hernandez didn’t get a call up to the tournament.
