Expected to feature for Mexico
Gallardo will aim to play a meaningful role on the left side of Mexico's defense following his inclusion in the World Cup squad.
Analysis: Gallardo remains Mexico's unquestioned starter on the left side of a back four, a role that allows him to push forward consistently and contribute in the attacking third. The veteran defender recorded five goals and five assists in Liga MX over the past year, and he found the net once for El Tri in a friendly match against Iceland. Defensively, his production could resemble what he showed during the last CONCACAF Gold Cup, where he averaged 4.0 balls recovered, 2.0 clearances and 1.4 tackles per game.
Called up for World Cup
Gallardo has been confirmed as part of the Mexican World Cup roster, making him ineligible for upcoming league action while he serves international duty.
Analysis: Gallardo finished the Clausura season with one goal and four assists in addition to 19 shots, 26 crosses, 13 chances created, 27 tackles and 22 clearances across 986 minutes of play, helping his team advance to the knockout rounds. The left-back also stood out in CONCACAF Champions Cup action, where he tallied three goals and one assist in four starts. He now looks set to be an undisputed member of Mexico's lineup, offering considerable all-around value.
