"Mexican stars Raul Jimenez and Edson Alvarez have been left out of manager Javier Aguirre's national team squad for upcoming friendlies against Colombia (Oct. 11) and Ecuador (Oct. 14) following recent injury issues. Jimenez suffered a hip injury after scoring Fulham's lone goal in Sunday's 3-1 Premier League loss to Aston Villa, and was then unavailable for Friday's match against Bournemouth."
"Mexico captain Alvarez, meanwhile, only returned to the pitch for Fenerbache during Thursday's 2-1 Europa League win over Nice, marking the first time the midfielder has gained minutes for club or country since a hamstring injury on Sep. 6. Another notable absentee is defender Rodrigo Huescas. Ahead of Friday's roster reveal, FC Copenhagen announced that the Mexican up-and-comer had been sidelined for the rest of the season after a long-term injury to his right knee, placing him in doubt for next summer's World Cup."
