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.
Joining national team early
Vega won't be an option for Toluca in the Clausura knockout stage as he's set to work with the Mexican national team, who included him in an initial list of Liga MX players.
Analysis: Vega is aiming to play a significant role for his country after building momentum in the last few Liga MX games, producing one assist in each of his last two starts. The attacker was sidelined due to a knee injury between November and March, after which he made a gradual return to action. All of Pavel Perez, Jorge Diaz and Sebastian Cordova may get opportunities to produce on Diablos' left wing in the key player's absence. With his place in the World Cup secured, Vega will hope to be selected over Julian Quinones on the flank and could deliver some set pieces at the international level.
