Julián Quiñones Ruled Out of Mexico’s November Friendlies With Reported Muscle Injury

The setback clouds his push for a 2026 World Cup spot after prolific club scoring in Saudi Arabia.

Overview

  • Mexico will face Uruguay on Nov. 15 in Torreón and Paraguay on Nov. 18 in San Antonio without Quiñones.
  • He sustained a muscle problem while playing for Al-Qadisiya last weekend, according to local reporting, and the club has not issued a medical update.
  • TUDN reporting says he is expected to be sidelined for at least three weeks, removing him from consideration for this month’s call-up.
  • Despite 23 goals in 2025 for Al-Qadisiya, including nine this season, he has only two goals in 18 appearances for Mexico, leaving little time to strengthen his national-team case.
  • The vacancy comes as other injuries also affect selection, and local outlets flag Canelo Angulo and Armando González as potential beneficiaries for the November roster.
