The Mexican National Team is going through decisive moments towards the 2026 World Cup and one of the most worrying names for Javier Aguirre’s coaching staff is that of Alexis Vega. The Mexican striker is not at 100% physically and his participation in the World Cup is beginning to be in doubt, according to information revealed in TUDN.
The situation gained momentum after the Mexican National Team announced the incorporation of Raúl Jiménez and César “Chino” Huerta to the national team’s training camp for the upcoming friendly matches in preparation for the 2026 World Cup. While Raul’s arrival seemed completely expected, Huerta’s call-up surprised a large part of the fans and sports analysts.
Alexis’ physical condition worries El Tri
Until a few days ago, César Huerta seemed to be out of the final list of 26 players for the World Cup.
Along with Germán Berterame, he was even considered one of the players least likely to be included in the final squad.
However, the panorama changed unexpectedly due to the physical doubts surrounding Alexis Vega.
During TUDN’s Línea de 4 program, journalists Mauricio Ymay and Gibrán Araige assured that the last-minute call-up of “Chino” Huerta is directly related to the Mexican striker’s physical condition.
“The ‘Chino’ Huerta thing obviously has to do with Alexis Vega not being physically well.”
Mauricio Ymay commented from Pasadena, California, where Mexico will play a friendly against Australia as part of its World Cup preparation.
The statements set off alarm bells among Mexican fans.
Especially because Alexis Vega has suffered constant physical problems and little soccer continuity in recent months, which could leave him out of the World Cup.

Aguirre analyzes last minute changes
Gibrán Araige also explained that the coaching staff headed by Javier Aguirre is concerned about the attacker’s physical and soccer level.
“Throughout the year between injuries and little activity we have not seen the quality of Alexis Vega on the court.”
“That has the coaching staff worried,” the sports journalist noted during the TUDN broadcast.
Given this scenario, César Huerta has a new opportunity to prove that he can contribute to the national team.
The Belgian Anderlecht player will have important minutes in the next training sessions and friendlies to convince “Vasco” Aguirre.
According to information presented on TUDN, the final decision could be made after the friendly match against Australia.
This meeting will be key to evaluate the physical condition of Alexis Vega and the performance of “Chino” Huerta towards the World Cup.
