Javier Aquino's Mexico national team status again in doubt after injury

The winger is suspended for this weekend's match but will miss additional time and might again be out of El Tri for qualifiers because of injury.

Javier Aquino is in doubt for Mexico's March World Cup qualification matches after suffering a hamstring tear.

The Tigres winger was given his second yellow card and sent off from Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Pachuca for a clumsy tackle on Raul Lopez. In addition to the one-match suspension to be served this weekend against Veracruz, Aquino also was injured in the collision.

The grade-two tear will keep Aquino out of action between 4 and 6 weeks, Tigres announced Tuesday.
