Midfielder Obed Vargas, from Atletico Madrid, and Argentine striker Santiago Gimenez, from AC Milan, joined the Mexican national soccer team on Tuesday as it prepares for the 2026 World Cup.<\/a><\/p>\n

“The national team management informs that players Santiago Gim\u00e9nez and Obed Vargas will join the Mexican National Team’s training camp today. Johan V\u00e1squez, from Genoa, will join the training camp on Wednesday, May 27,” said coach Javier Aguirre’s team in a statement.<\/p>\n

Vargas, a 21-year-old Mexican gem, has just obtained his passport as a Spaniard.<\/p>\n

This is thanks to his Mexican mother, but with Spanish ancestry, which may facilitate his continuity with Atletico Madrid.<\/p>\n

He will no longer occupy an extracommunity place.<\/p>\n

Obed Vargas, who joined Atl\u00e9tico in January from Seattle Sounders of the MLS, has played 13 games in the red and white jersey.<\/p>\n

Santiago Gim\u00e9nez, born in Buenos Aires but a naturalized Mexican citizen, arrived on Tuesday to compete for a place in El Tri’s attack.<\/p>\n

His arrival comes after a complicated year at Milan due to an ankle injury, lack of goals and little continuity.<\/p>\n

Gim\u00e9nez recorded 18 appearances, one goal in the Italian Cup, and two assists (Filed under: Mexican National Team Vargas and Gim\u00e9nez train).<\/p>\n

Santiago Gim\u00e9nez faces tough battle<\/h2>\n

The 25-year-old striker will have to compete for a place on the 26-man roster with Colombian Julian Qui\u00f1ones.<\/p>\n

He joined the training camp on Monday after finishing top scorer in the Saudi league with his team, Al-Qadisiyah.<\/p>\n

In addition to Qui\u00f1ones, among the Tri forwards is Ra\u00fal Jim\u00e9nez, from Fulham of the Premier League, a team with which he had an outstanding season.<\/p>\n

Johan V\u00e1squez will join the team this Wednesday<\/p>Qu\u00e9Onnda.com<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n

The Mexican National Team is preparing for the friendly match against Australia this Saturday in Pasadena (California).<\/p>\n

This match will be the last test before Javier Aguirre gives the list of 26 players called up for the World Cup.<\/p>\n

The last preparation match for the World Cup will be on June 4 against Bosnia (Filed as: Mexican National Team Vargas and Gim\u00e9nez train).<\/p>\n
