Included in World Cup squad
Vega (knee) will be available for the Mexican national team in the World Cup following the announcement of the country's 26-man roster.
Analysis: Vega was at risk of being left out of the top international competition because he's not 100 percent physically as he plays through pain in the knee he had surgery on in January, but he's fit enough to see action and even took part in a friendly game against Australia on Saturday, delivering an assist during that match. Still, the playmaker might see reduced involvement in the summer competition, given that he's now in contention with Cesar Huerta and Julian Quinones, the latter of whom has gained plenty of ground thanks to his superb form. In any case, Vega should take set pieces whenever he's on the field, and he could be a solid attacking option on the left flank.
Knee issue clouds World Cup spot
Vega (knee) is not considered fully fit by those monitoring him in training and could be dropped from Mexico's final World Cup squad on June 1 if coach Javier Aguirre decides he is not in the right physical condition to compete, according to Marca.
Analysis: Vega still doesn't look fully sharp in training following knee surgery that wiped out his entire Clausura 2026 campaign, and his condition is raising real red flags for the coaching staff. If he's not back to full speed by early June, there's a legitimate chance Vega won't be cleared for the World Cup, though that decision is still up in the air and will hinge on what he shows leading up to the matchup against Australia in Pasadena. Cesar Huerta is the main fallback option right now, but he'll also need to check the fitness box before manager Aguirre locks in his final call ahead of the June 1 squad drop.
