Tigres winger Javier Aquino is not taking his place for granted ahead of the summer World Cup in Russia. The 28-year-old has been picked in Mexico’s 28-man provisional squad for the global tournament but he remains anxious over whether he would make the final 23-man squad under Juan Carlos Osorio.
Aquino has been a crucial player for El Tri over the past seven years and he featured in seven of the country’s 10 matches during the World Cup qualification phase. Despite this, the experienced attacker admits that he is not resting on his laurels and wants to make the final cut ahead of the World Cup.

West Ham United manager David Moyes has come in the defence of Javier Hernandez following his struggles to claim a regular spot in the starting lineup. The Mexico international began the season as the first-choice striker under Slaven Bilic, and his brace against Southampton made him a fan favourite in the early phase of the campaign.
However, he has since netted on only two occasions, and the arrival of Moyes at the London Stadium have coincided with his demotion from the first XI. Hernandez has yet to make a league start under the tutelage of the former Everton manager, but the Scot nevertheless backs the Mexican to regain his form, just like Marko Arnautovic in recent weeks.

New West Ham United manager David Moyes has confirmed that Javier Hernandez could miss up to two weeks of first-team action after he suffered a hamstring injury during Mexico's 3-3 friendly draw versus Belgium earlier this month.
The 29-year-old has made a good return to the English top-flight with four goals scored in the opening 11 games. Speaking in the lead-up to the Watford clash, Moyes confirmed that Hernandez had incurred a muscular problem which could keep him out of first-team football for the next fortnight, he said: "I think everyone knows he [Chicharito] has got a hamstring injury. It could take a week, it could take two weeks."

Mexico head coach Juan Carlos Osorio has admitted that his side's 1-1 draw against Costa Rica was probably the fair result, although he is gutted by his side's inability to hold onto the lead in the World Cup qualifier at the Estadio Nacional.
The North American outfit took the lead in the 42nd minute when Cristian Gamboa unintentionally put the ball into his own net after an amazing reflex save from Keylor Navas. Mexico looked on course to clinch their six victory of their qualifying campaign, but Marcos Urena denied them the opportunity with an equaliser for Los Ticos eight minutes from time. Costa Rica nearly clinched the winner in the dying seconds of the game when Johan Venegas hit the post. Speaking in his post match press conference, Osorio said: "We're left with a bad taste. We thought we had the game controlled."
