Diego Campillo would be one of the novelties of the Mexican National Team for a friendly against Iceland

Diego Campillo is set to potentially join the Mexican National Team for an upcoming friendly match against Iceland due to recent injuries affecting other players.

Diego Campillo, a defender for Chivas, is poised to make his debut in the Mexican National Team as coach Javier Aguirre finalizes the roster for a friendly match against Iceland scheduled for February 25 at Estadio La Corregidora in Querétaro. Aguirre has been monitoring Campillo's performance since the previous tournament, but an injury to his metatarsal had previously sidelined him from the January call-up for a tour in Panama and Bolivia. Upon his return to the field, Campillo has demonstrated impressive skills, reflecting the high level of play he had shown prior, particularly during the recent Clásico Nacional match between Chivas and América, which caught the attention of Aguirre. The recent injury to Luis Romo opens a spot for Campillo, as Aguirre currently has limited options in that position, primarily relying on Erik Lira. Furthermore, with Edson Álvarez also sidelined due to an ankle injury, Aguirre is seeking additional players to bolster his lineup ahead of the friendly with Iceland.
