Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez will not be involved for Mexico at the 2022 World Cup, El Tri boss Tata Martino has confirmed.
Former Manchester United favourite Hernandez was involved for his country at the 2010, 2014 and 2018 World Cups, scoring in each of the tournaments, but has since fallen out of favour at international level. He won the most recent of his 109 caps back in 2019, and has not featured since leaving Europe for Major League Soccer in January 2020.
The 34-year-old's form for LA Galaxy had seen some call for an international recall. However neither he nor fellow MLS star and national team exile Carlos Vela will be involved in Qatar.
