National team players don’t always return to their clubs in the best physical condition after international breaks. But this time, Wolverhampton Wanderers should not be concerned about one of their stars.
That’s because according to the Mexican press, manager Ricardo Ferretti is going to give a rest to the internationals who play in Europe.
Record and Medio Tiempo say that Guillermo Ochoa, Miguel Layún, Diego Reyes, Néstor Araujo, Erick Gutiérrez, Marco Fabián and Raúl Jiménez should only play against Argentina on Friday.
After that, they should be released, leaving Mexico to play only with players from the local league.
Ferretti reportedly believes that players need to be 100% for their clubs so they can reach a good level and then be ready for the official national team tournaments. It’s not the first time he’s done this, so Nuno Espirito Santo will be a fan.
Although it’s likely that players should spend their weekend in their home country, it seems sure that Raul Jimenez will be rested ahead of Wolves’ next game, which will be played against Huddersfield at home on November 25th.
