Santiago Gimenez Regains World Cup Hope
Mexican striker Santiago Gimenez is looking to revive his World Cup ambitions after being left out in 2022. An ankle injury at the end of October 2025 forced surgery, and his return to AC Milan in March 2026 saw a goal drought in Serie A.
Meanwhile, domestic forward Armando "Hormiga" González scored 24 goals across the Apertura 2025 and Clausura 2026, earning a national team call‑up. The coaching staff is weighing Gimenez's experience against his recent form.
Upcoming friendly matches will likely decide whether he makes the final roster.
