The coach of the Mexican National Team, Gerardo Marino, ruled out that the team depends on the trident formed by Raul Jimenez, Hirving Lozano Y Jesus Crownafter it emerged that all three could be absent from the game against Jamaica.

“The absences always weigh, in no case are they well received. On this occasion, due to different circumstances, we have rarely been able to count on the three of them, we have always tried to get ahead like thisbecause it is not the selection of three soccer players, but of Mexico”, commented Gerardo Tata Martino, coach of the Tricolor, prior to the visit to Jamaica.

Raúl Jiménez, from Wolverhampton, did not travel to the Caribbean country, because he has a calf injury and it is unknown if he will be able to play for the match against Costa Rica. In turn, Hirving el Chucky Lozano, from Napoli, will not be able to face Jamaica, because he is punished with a one-game suspension, due to accumulation of yellow cards.

“In the case of Raúl it is ruled out, he did not travel for tomorrow, we have the expectation of being able to count on him in the next game. We will try to review this with the medical staff and see how its evolution is, “said Gerardo Tata Martino.

For its part, Jesús Corona, from Sevilla, arrived with discomfort for the game against Jamaica, but is now recovered and at the disposal of Gerardo Tata Martino, so he will be the only one of the three who could play against the Caribbean.

“In the case of Tecatito, he is in good spirits, he has settled his situation, last semester was difficult, he is happy with how things started in Seville, playing as a starter, we will see in what situation we are going to use him, but he is already disposition”, mentioned Gerardo Tata Martino.

The three players stand out for their ability to attack and their stay in European teams. The soccer players who aim to replace them are Alexis Vega, Rogelio Funes Mori and Uriel Antuna.
