Corona has established itself as a starter at Sevilla coach Julen Lopetegui, for whom he signed in January. Herrera, meanwhile, has had a great second half of the season at Atleti led by Argentine coach Diego Simeone, who was confirmed in the quarterfinals of the Champions League on Tuesday.
Others who stand out in Martino’s call are Diego Lainez, from Spanish Real Betis; Edson Álvarez, from the Dutch Ajax; Hirving “Chucky” Lozano, from Italian Napoli, and Raúl Jiménez, from English Wolverhampton.
Mexico is in third place in the octagonal with 21 points, the same as the United States, second in the table, and four behind the leader Canada.
