Rafa Márquez has called up Alex Padilla, backup goalkeeper at Athletic Club, for Mexico's CONCACAF Nations League quarter-final tie against Jamaica. According to Mundo Deportivo, the Tri will play the first leg on 14 November at the National Stadium in Kingston, with the return leg three days later at Estadio BBVA in Monterrey. Mexico are also playing for direct qualification to the Gold Cup 2027 through this tie.
