Martino saw him as Jiménez's replacement, now he's out of El Tri for good

With the respective scarcity of goals in the Mexican team's matches, several forwards are shaping up to be the great attacking weapon for El Tri in its upcoming matches. Gerardo Martino is analyzing some options and was even considering bringing a naturalized player who has a lot of goals in Liga MX.

Julio Furch and Andre-Pierre Gignac, two players who have had outstanding performances in recent tournaments in the local league, were on the list of possible call-ups. However, the issue of the Frenchman is very complicated with his eligibility for El Tri.

Beyond definitively resigning from the French national team, the Tigres forward turns out that after being one of the "anti-vaccine" athletes in the world today, his entry to Qatar is practically impossible. The World Cup and the host country take these kinds of issues very seriously with their participants.

Gignac resigns from El Tri?

Although Martino considered him as the great natural replacement for Raúl Jiménez, the French-Mexican striker could not be considered for various reasons and prefers to step aside from a possible call-up. Tata Martino will have to keep looking.
