Last Wednesday, the list of the 23 Mexican players summoned by coach Diego Cocca for the friendly match against the United States was announced. In this call there were surprises and the absence of some footballers was striking, as was the case of striker Javier Hernández.
Much was said about the possible return of “Chicharito” to the Tricolor with the arrival of the Argentine coach, however, once again it was decided to do without him, which has caused doubts and questions regarding the calls.
The last game in which Javier Hernández Balcázar played with the national team was in the friendly match against the United States, which was played on September 6, 2019. on the field of Metlife Stadium.
On that occasion, the Aztec team defeated the country of the stars and stripes 3-0, where CH14 scored the first with a header, the second was put by Erick Gutiérrez and Uriel Antuna closed with a right-footed shot.
Four days later, on September 11, Mexico suffered a painful defeat against Argentina by a 4-0 win. On that occasion Javier Hernández did not see any activity and stayed the whole game from the substitute bench. That day was the last time that ‘Chicharito’ was called up to the Tri, remember that at that time the coach was Gerardo Martino.
For now, Mexico will face the team of the neighboring country next Wednesday, April 19, on the field of State Farm Stadium, in Glendale, Arizona, at 8:00 p.m. sharp.
