“We’ll see. I don’t know if the decision is entirely ours or his, his club will also have a lot of weight in what the club wants and what is decided between the three parties,” Lozano said. “His intention is to be here, obviously to support.
“He saw himself this summer being with the national team and I think he wants to fulfill that. We’ll see, let’s wait for the result [of the examination].”
In his place, Lozano said that 27-year-old Almeria defender César Montes would now take the captain’s armband.
“Now it’s César’s turn to captain and I think he’s going to help us a lot too,” Lozano said. “The same with Julio [Gonzalez], Johan [Vasquez], I like to see soccer a little from the back going forward and I think they are the people who have a bit more stability.”
Depending on the result of the other Group B matchup between Ecuador and Jamaica, both Mexico and Venezuela are seeking to possibly secure a spot in the Copa knockout round with a win on Wednesday.
Following the second round of games, Group B will close out with Mexico playing Ecuador and Jamaica taking on Venezuela Sunday.
