Flores, who was born in Canada to a Mexican father and a Canadian mother, participated in a push and pull between both countries CONCACAF. The teenager was included in Canada’s provisional squad for the 2021 Gold Cup, but competed in the Revelations Cup tournament last November with Mexico’s youth national team. Since then, he has made two appearances for Mexico’s senior national team in friendlies from December to April.
Flores’ older sisters, Silvana and Tatiana, were also involved in the formation of the Mexican national team on the women’s side.
Ahead of the World Cup, the young midfielder will now have to work hard to win against coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino, who has yet to start Flores in the squad or have a few minutes of official play.
At club level, Flores continues to await his debut with Arsenal’s senior side, but received praise from manager Mikel Arteta in April when the Gunners boss said he was “developing”. really, really good.”
The midfielder watched from the bench during the previous 0-3 loss Crystal Palace in the Premier League in early April.
