Overview
- After the scoreless Xolos–América opener, Gilberto Mora told FOX Sports he would welcome playing alongside Álvaro Fidalgo at the World Cup.
- Speaking at a LaLiga/EA Sports event, Fernando Morientes praised Mora’s talent at 17, suggested a European move is plausible, and cautioned that his development remains the key variable.
- Morientes also observed that Mexico lacks a clear creative leader from midfield forward, framing a gap the team must address before 2026.
- RÉCORD reports national-team leadership is monitoring profiles like Fidalgo to bolster chance creation, characterizing Mora’s remarks as a team-first gesture.
- Grupo Milenio notes a possible call-up as early as the next friendly against Iceland and says FIFA naturalization targeted for March could make Fidalgo eligible for official matches, with any selection up to coach Javier Aguirre.
