Lozano, the Major Absentee from Mexico in the Global Event

The Mexican star Hirving Lozano is absent from his national team's roster for the 2026 World Cup, despite not suffering from any injury or suspension, in a decision that has sparked much controversy ahead of the tournament hosted by Mexico.

Lozano, who previously shone with the Dutch club PSV Eindhoven before moving to the Italian club Napoli, is experiencing a severe crisis with his current club San Diego in the United States, which has led to his absence from matches for several months due to an unresolved dispute.

The coach of the Mexican national team, Javier Aguirre, decided to exclude the player from the final squad amidst the ongoing conflict, even though the player was hoping to participate in the World Cup on home soil and in front of his fans.

The absence of Lozano is a significant blow to the Mexican national team, especially since he has been one of its standout stars in recent years. He was expected to play an important role in leading the team during the global tournament.
