Gustavo Guzman believes that Rafael Marquez's return to the Mexican national team is a matter of time

The President of Atlas values ​​that his footballer can already play again after the legal problems he has had since the US Department of the Treasury included him in a list linking him to drug trafficking.

The red and black executive highlighted Marquez's still-existing quality and assured that he has no doubts that he will be called up for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

"Rafa's capacity is impressive, and I believe Osorio will see it again and I believe we will have him in the World Cup, especially since it is in Russia. The problem is the friendly games in the United States that he will not be able to attend, and they are at the beginning of the year."

Guzman also spoke about the effort made by the player's lawyers and informed that since his personal accounts are frozen, he has not been able to be paid yet.

"Rafa's lawyers have worked tirelessly and have achieved many things. The first thing was that they already released his accounts in two of his businesses. In our case, it was somehow released that he could train, but when it came to playing, it was not allowed because it implies a payment. The lawyers consulted and the opinions they received were that he could receive payment. They have not specified the methods yet because the released accounts are those of his companies, not personal ones. But things are going very well, he is already working and his money will be kept until he can be paid."

"USTARI WILL RETURN"

About the serious injury suffered last night by goalkeeper Oscar Ustari in his left knee, Gustavo Guzman has no doubt that the goalkeeper will return and that this injury does not put his sporting career at risk.

What the doctor did was straighten him out. From the stadium, I went to the hospital, there they took the first X-rays, and there is no fracture. The blood was drained, and he went home with his leg immobilized and ice. But there is concern that there may be a problem with the muscles that join the fibula to the knee, and that could result in a non-invasive surgery."

He added: "Many things have been said, I don't know why there is the perception that he is very old. Oscar is between 30 and 32 years old, and for a goalkeeper, he is in his prime. Yes, he has had some injuries in his career, but he was perfectly fine, and yesterday it was even said that it could be the end of his career, but I don't see it that way. On the contrary, he is someone who has a great attitude and professionalism, and he will overcome this."
