Mexico national team Nations League squad call-up, Digi Mart USA News: The Mexican national team is preparing changes to its November squad ahead of the CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinals. Among the potential surprises is Armando León, a forward who is in good form in Croatian football and could receive his first senior call-up.
According to various media and sports journalists, coach Rafael Márquez is expected to make changes to the list that will be announced this Thursday, November 5, for a two-legged series against Jamaica. One of the main possible additions is Armando León, a Mexican striker playing in Croatia, who gained popularity on social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), due to his goal-scoring record and strong performances in Europe.
León has scored six goals in 11 matches in the Croatian league, figures that would support a possible inclusion in the squad. His call-up would give him an opportunity to show his talent with the national team and compete for a place in the attack ahead of upcoming international commitments.
Journalist Gibrán Araige of TUDN reported that Julián Quiñones could also return to the Mexican squad. The forward was unavailable for the October call-up due to an injury suffered with his club in Saudi Arabia.
After recovering, he would reportedly be fit to rejoin the team.
Another possible return is that of Rodrigo Huescas, who could appear in a squad again after a year of absence. The full-back has recently begun playing regularly with Copenhagen in Denmark, a situation that would favor his reinclusion.
The squad list is also expected to include significant absences for the match against Jamaica, though the source article does not specify the names of the players who will be left out.
Mexico will face Jamaica in the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Nations League, a two-match tie that will decide one of the four teams advancing to the Final Four. Jamaica qualified after finishing second in its group, behind Guatemala.
The series will be especially significant for Rafael Márquez, as it will represent his first official competition in charge of the Mexican national team and his first official match in Mexico. The objective for Mexico is to secure a place in the Final Four.
