Mexico national team releases list for September World Cup qualifiers

Three uncapped forwards will get a look from manager Juan Carlos Osorio with Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez out from the qualifiers because of a hand injury.

Hot starts to the Liga MX season have earned Atlas striker Martin Barragan, Chivas forward Angel Zaldivar and Queretaro forward Angel Sepulveda call-ups to the Mexican national team, as Juan Carlos Osorio named the attackers Thursday in his squad for World Cup qualifiers against El Salvador and Honduras.

Mexico already has clinched first place in Group A of the penultimate round of CONCACAF qualification, but after a disappointing end to the Copa America Centenario it is hoping to regain positive momentum with victories in San Salvador and against Honduras in the Estadio Azteca.
