Hirving Lozano has sent a clear message to Mexico national team coach Rafael Marquez, stating his desire to return to the squad. The winger's comments were reported by MARCA on Tuesday, August 11, 2026.
According to MARCA, Lozano addressed Marquez directly, making his intentions to rejoin El Tri known. The report follows a period in which Lozano was left off the roster for the 2026 World Cup, a decision that has clearly affected the player.
In separate coverage, ESPN México reported that Lozano does not regret missing the World Cup, but he acknowledged falling into a depression afterward. TUDN also noted that Lozano remains hurt over not being selected for the tournament, which was hosted in North America.
The situation marks a notable shift for Lozano, who was once considered one of Mexico's most valuable attacking players. AS México reported that his market value has dropped dramatically over the past five years, highlighting how his standing has changed since his peak.
Lozano's public appeal to Marquez suggests he is eager to move past the disappointment and re-establish himself within the national team setup. His comments signal a willingness to compete for a place under the new coaching staff.
The coming months will show whether Marquez responds to Lozano's request and whether the winger can work his way back into Mexico's plans for future competitions.
