Mexico vs. Iraq: previous

The ‘Tricolor’ began with the final phase of preparation with a view to the World Cup. For this, the cast led by Gerardo Martino is already training in Spain. On the eve of the first of the two rehearsal games (the other will be against Sweden), the Argentine coach shed light on what the list of 26 that will go to the competition will be like.

It is known that Jesús Corona is ruled out. While Jesús Angulo, Erick Sánchez, Roberto Alvarado and Santiago Giménez would be the others to be left out. Meanwhile, Raúl Jiménez has great options to enter the payroll. The truth is that Martino has until November 14 to make important decisions.

On his side, Iraq is not in Qatar 2022, but will take advantage of these previous dates to move. In fact, the Asian side will face off against two World Cup players: Ecuador and Costa Rica. Later, another clash against Venezuela is planned. All this with a view to the dispute of the Gulf Cup in January 2023.
