Carlos Vela is regarded as one of the top strikers for the Mexican national team, but he has not featured for the national team in major tournaments due to one reason or the other. His most recent pullout came during the 2014 World Cup when Vela withdrew from the national team due to unknown reasons.
It is widely expected that the national team would not be calling up the Real Sociedad striker due to his uncertain nature. However, rumours have once again cropped up that the former Arsenal man could be in the squad during the Copa America or the Gold Cup.
