Is chicharito playing in the world cup 2022

The front Javier “Chicharito” Hernández will not play for the Mexican national team in the Qatar World Cupin which it will be rival of Argentina, after having a video call with Rosario coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino.

According to the site Medio Tiempo, Hernández, who plays in the Los Angeles Galaxy of the United States, spoke with the coach of the selected team in very good terms but “Tata” is not going to include him in the list preview that will play the friendly matches and then the World Cup.

Hernández and Martino had agreed to talk for several weeks and it served to define the situation and put an end to doubts about whether the striker, who has 109 matches and 52 goals with the Mexican shirt, was going to be in Qatar or not.

Hernández was only with the national team in three games directed by Martino, in March 2019 against Paraguay and Chile and later in September of that year against the United States in New Jersey.

Since then Chicharito has not worn the selected shirt again, nor has he been included in any list for the Concacaf Gold Cup and Nations League tournaments..

Mexico will share Group C of the World Cup with Argentina (they will play on November 26 in Lusail), Poland and Saudi Arabia.
