Héctor Herrera did not play against Korea due to muscular overload

The concern at Atlético is growing during this selection break. Up to 15 footballers have left and from Madrid they observe their performance with the hope that they will all return fit. This Saturday two footballers had to stop to avoid greater evils. Savic did not play with Montenegro due to some inconveniences and Héctor Herrera, the same with Mexico, suffering from an overload.

At first, in neither case is it an injury, but rather a precaution. But the concern exists. The central defender has accumulated many minutes with Atlético (810 of 900) and the middle center, in recent times, too (four titles in a row, 323 '). So when in doubt, both have decided to take a little break.

Martino, coach of Mexico, hinted at it in the preview: “Hector is overloaded and we have to evaluate, if the medical body tells us that he is at risk, he will be left out. There will be games where you have to take risks, but this is not. Héctor has a large number of matches with Atlético and We do not want to risk it, nor do we want to lose the rhythm and the level that it has “. Finally he stayed in the stands and the Aztecs await you for Tuesday's match against Japan, in Graz (Austria).
