Mexico national team manager, Juan Carlos Osorio, said the absence of Giovani Dos Santos in El Tri's roster for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers has to do with the player's current form.
Osorio admitted that Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez, Oribe Peralta, and Raul Jimenez are all currently ahead of Gio Dos Santos in the squad.
Despite watching Mexico play with three strikers against the United States in the CONCACAF Cup, Osorio is not considering a three-forward scheme like his predecessor Ricardo Ferretti. Instead, Osorio is looking at the possibility of playing with only two forwards.
