Lozano & Chicharito back in Mexico squad against USA & Argentina

The Porto player is set for his first minutes under Tata Martino while the star attackers return after missing the Gold Cup

Jesus "Tecatito" Corona will compete for his first cap under Mexico manager Tata Martino, and a number of 2018 World Cup veterans return to the team after missing the Gold Cup in El Tri's squad to face the United States and Argentina in September friendly matches.

Corona was called into Martino's first squad but later pulled out of the March friendly matches, setting off a spat in which the manager said he hadn't heard from the player and implied he wouldn't call him in again. That appears to be water under the bridge with the Porto player, who came up as a winger but recently has seen time at right back, included in the squad once again.

Hirving Lozano missed the Gold Cup with an injury after being left off the initial squad. The newly signed Napoli winger is included in the 31-man group. So too is Mexico's all-time leading scorer, forward Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez, who missed the Gold Cup as he enjoyed the birth of his first child. Atletico Madrid midfielder Hector Herrera, who requested the summer off to rest up after his club season and complete his summer move to La Liga, also returns.
