However, he will not be part of the Copa America 2024.

The former Manchester United striker played a total of 109 matches, scored an amount of 52 goals and provided 13 assists throughout his career with the national team.

Mexico’s coach Jaime Lozano gave the roster for the Copa America 2024 and it’s not a big surprise that the experienced striker Chicharito Hernandez is not there. The talented player will have to watch his national team from home.
