Mexico's World Cup Preparations: Liga MX Players Announced for Training Camp
Mexico is gearing up for the World Cup training camp, with Liga MX players set to be announced next week, according to national teams director Duilio Davino. The domestic league players will have a few days of rest before reporting for the camp, which kicks off on May 6. The Clausura tournament regular season ends on April 27, and the playoffs will proceed without the World Cup-bound players.
Coach Javier Aguirre is facing challenges in forming a cohesive team due to a string of injuries. Twelve players, including six who were part of the CONCACAF Nations League and Gold Cup-winning squad last year, missed the last match due to injuries. The selection of players from European leagues will be announced before the FIFA deadline on May 30.
Mexico's final warmup match before the tournament will be against Serbia on June 4 in Toluca, located southwest of Mexico City. The team will then host South Africa on June 11 at the Azteca stadium in the tournament opener.
In conclusion, Mexico is making preparations for the World Cup with the announcement of Liga MX players for the training camp, finalizing the squad selection, and scheduling warmup matches to fine-tune their preparations for the tournament.
