Ochoa Out of National Team Match Due to Mexico Call-Up

Guillermo Ochoa, goalkeeper for AEL, has been called up to the Mexican national team for upcoming friendly matches ahead of the World Cup, resulting in his absence from the match against Ethnikos. The 40-year-old Ochoa was seeking a club that would guarantee him playing time and put him back on the radar of the Mexican national team coach, which he found in Cyprus. His call-up is significant as he has the opportunity to become the only player to participate in six World Cups. An injury to the starting goalkeeper of the Mexican national team paved the way for Ochoa's return to the squad.
