Alfredo Talavera , goalkeeper of the Pumas de UNAM , was left out of the call of the Mexican team. This is due to the injury he suffered prior to the duel between the Auriazules and Cruz Azul this Saturday, where La Maquina lost at home (1-2).
Through a press release, the Tricolor’s general sports management informed that the goalkeeper will not travel to the Austrian tour , where the team led by the Argentine Gerardo “Tata” Martino will face South Korea and Japan.

So far, the university club has not released details of the injury or Tala’s recovery time. The only thing that is known is that the goalkeeper presented a muscle discomfort in the adductor , according to what was said by coach Andrés Lillini at a press conference.
