🤨​ Unfair call? Sepúlveda, the top scorer left out of the Tricolor squad | OneFootball

The Mexican national team announced its final roster for the friendlies against Japan and South Korea, and the big surprise was the absence of Ángel Sepúlveda, a forward who is currently experiencing a standout goal-scoring moment in Liga MX.

The forward has accumulated 5 goals in 6 matches, making him the top Mexican scorer of the tournament. His statistics positioned him as one of the most solid options to strengthen the tricolor attack in this FIFA date. Despite his performance, the coaching staff decided to opt for other players. This decision opened the door to controversy, as many believed that the preparation matches were the ideal scenario to give minutes to a player in great form.

Was it the right time to call Sepúlveda?
