Zendejas low against Mexico: America did not lend it to the United States

The selection of USA will face Mexico next Wednesday in Phoenix without Alexander Zendejaswho did not receive authorization from the America to be summoned for friendly engagement.

As it is not a FIFA date, the clubs are not obliged to give up their players and the ‘Águilas’ retained the attacker, leaving him out of the list prepared by Anthony Hudson for the preparation duel.

“If it weren’t for his injury, it might be a different situation. America asked us not to be called and they have the right to do so. I will only say that we are disappointed, but the fact that we have built this relationship with Alejandro is because the club has been very good to us, we have no problem with that, we accept it”, pointed out the DT of the American team.

“We wish you were here. He wanted to be with us, but we also have to recognize that we are in this situation because the club made it easier for him to be here in January and we thank them. We hope that he can be with us in summerHudson added.

Zendejas, who ruled out playing for Mexico and debuted at the beginning of this year with the USMNT, thus became one of the main absences in the list of 23 elements that the United States cited to face the ‘Tri’. Last weekend against Monterrey he suffered a broken nose, for matchday 14 of the Clausura of Liga MX.
