New blow for Juarez

Efrain Juarez has been dropped by Mexico for three end of season friendlies.

Neil Lennon has already confirmed that he’s looking for the player to move on after his loan spell in La Liga was cut short by Real Zaragoza.

Juarez didn’t make a single appearance for Celtic in the season about to end despite making an impressive start to his hoops career.

Mexico have games arranged against Wales, Bosnia and Brazil as part of their preparations for the 2014 World Cup qualifiers.

Coach Jose Manuel de la Torre has been a big supporter of the 24-year-old but has been forced to leave the Celt out of his World Cup plans.

Last summer Juarez was a key member of the Mexican squad that won the Gold Cup against the USA but it now seems certain that he’ll have to move on to revive his international career.
