  • Tomé defended Hermoso’s exclusion by citing fierce competition for forward slots; she also detailed consultations with Hermoso’s club coach at Tigres.
  • The forward acknowledged she was not surprised by her omission after four consecutive call-up absences, stating her true grievance was the lack of direct dialogue from the coach.
