The Mexico national team confirmed on Wednesday that Hirving “Chucky” Lozano and Henry Martín will no longer form part of the June training camp due to hamstring injuries.

The duo will miss upcoming friendlies against Turkey on June 7 in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Switzerland three days later in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. They will also not be included in the Concacaf Gold Cup team expected to be announced on Wednesday.

In the case of Lozano, the Mexico federation said that his MLS club, San Diego FC, conducted several tests and informed the national team that the player could no longer travel to Mexico City to join camp due to a left hamstring injury.

Lozano last featured in San Diego’s 2-0 victory over Austin FC on May 31, playing for 66 minutes before being substituted off the pitch.

Lozano was set to make his return to the Mexico team for the first time in 2025, after failing to feature in the team’s trophy-winning Concacaf Nations League campaign in March.

Martín also picked up a left hamstring injury, and will now depart the national team training facility in Mexico City to begin his rehabilitation process with Club América. The forward did not play in América’s most recent game against LAFC on May 31 due to the ongoing injury.

Later on Wednesday, Mexico released its 26-man roster for the Gold Cup, with the return of 39-year-old goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa making his return to the national team.

Alongside Ochoa, other noteworthy faces include West Ham’s Edson Alvarez, AC Milan’s Santiago Gimenez, Fulham’s Raul Jimenez, as well as the eye-catching addition of 16-year-old Club Tijuana midfielder Gilberto Mora. With two international appearances already in hand, and also the current record for Liga MX’s youngest goalscorer when he was 15, Mora has quickly risen through the ranks of the Mexican soccer world.

Wednesday’s announcement also confirmed that preliminary roster members such as Emilio Lara, Juan Sanchez Purata, Gilberto Sepulveda, Ramon Juarez, Jeremy Márquez, and Alex Padilla didn’t make the final list.

Mexico won the last edition of the Gold Cup in 2023 under former manager Jaime Lozano with a 1-0 victory over Panama, and now prepare to face Costa Rica, Suriname and the Dominican Republic in this year’s group A.
