West Ham United midfielder Edson Alvarez’s exclusion from the recent Mexico national team squad has ignited speculation about the relationship between the club and the Mexican Football Association (FMF). Alvarez, a key player for the Irons, has been recovering from an injury and his absence has raised eyebrows.
While Alvarez’s recent injury may have been a factor, there are other potential reasons for his exclusion from the national team squad. Some speculate that there might be underlying issues between West Ham and the FMF regarding player call-ups and workload management.
The players comments were telling recently when Alvarez stated that he had informed the Mexican FA of his decision to remain at Rush Green and train with Julen Lopetegui.
Alvarez’s absence from the national team could have a positive impact for us. It would allow him to rest and recover from his injury, ensuring he is in peak condition for club duties. Additionally, Alvarez’s absence might reduce the risk of injury or fatigue that could arise from international commitments.
Since Mexico’s next three games all appear to be friendlies there doesn’t look much to be gained for the 26-year-old to fly long distance for the matches so soon after getting back to action.
It remains to be seen whether Alvarez’s absence from the Mexico national team squad will have any long-term implications. As Alvarez continues to recover from his injury and re-establish himself as a key player for the Hammers, his future involvement with the national team will likely be a topic for further discussion
