MONTERREY — After being excluded from the last World Cup process in the final games, Jesús Zavala returns to wear the shirt of the Mexican National Team. The Rayados midfielder was an important part of the elimination process that the ‘Tri’ had with José Manuel de la Torre and Víctor Manuel Vucetich at the helm. But he was no longer taken into account by Miguel Herrera.
