The return of PSV Eindhoven winger Hirving “Chucky” Lozano highlights Mexico‘s 26-man roster that will take part in U.S.-based friendlies later this month.
As they continue preparations to co-host the 2026 World Cup, Mexico will take on Ghana on Oct. 14 in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Germany on Oct. 17 in Philadelphia.

The list of players selected by manager Jaime “Jimmy” Lozano on Thursday also includes other European-based stars including Dynamo Moscow’s Luis Chávez, Porto’s Jorge Sánchez, Genk’s Gerardo Arteaga and César Montes of Almeria.
While Chavez, Sanchez, Arteaga and Montes last featured for Mexico in the summer’s Gold Cup, Lozano has not taken the field for El Tri since March’s Concacaf Nations League draw with Jamaica.
Elsewhere in October’s squad are familiar faces in veteran goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, in-form Feyenoord forward Santiago Giménez, West Ham midfielder Edson Álvarez and new Fulham striker Raúl Jiménez.
