Overview
- Duilio Davino confirmed Thursday that centre-back César Montes is out of the September window and will return to Lokomotiv Moscow to continue rehabilitation for a gluteal muscle tear.
- The FMF named Dagoberto Espinoza as cover for Montes and said he will join the national team after his club plays Jornada 10 of the Liga MX Apertura.
- Santiago Giménez is training separately with a right adductor overload and Jeremy Márquez is doing differentiated work for a back contracture, with both listed as doubtful pending the next training sessions.
- The team ran sessions without longtime physical trainer Pol Llorente, with Spanish physiotherapist Xavi Calvo temporarily overseeing readaptation work while the FMF finalizes the role.
- Prominent supporters have urged patience for Márquez’s multi-year project, with Hugo Sánchez noting Márquez’s contract runs through July 2030 and arguing for continuity as the coach builds the squad.
