Overview
- Coach Javier Aguirre submitted an official 55-man preliminary roster to FIFA, confirming Guillermo Ochoa’s inclusion and leaving out Hirving “Chucky” Lozano and injured fullback Rodrigo Huescas.
- The staff will trim the list to 26 after warm-up games against Ghana on May 22, Australia on May 30, and Serbia on June 4.
- Mexico is running a home training camp that led to a public warning on May 6 that any player who skipped the call-up risked exclusion, a stance taken as clubs navigated Liga MX playoffs and the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
- Under FIFA rules, Aguirre can still pick Liga MX players who missed the early camp, with reports naming Toluca’s Marcel Ruiz and Chivas right back Richy Ledezma as potential late adds.
- The pool blends veterans and new faces, including naturalized and Mexican-American prospects, with MLS-based winger Jorge Ruvalcaba among those making the long list.
