Shockwaves Hit MLS vs. Liga MX All-Star Game: Star Players Gilberto Mora and Keylor Navas Mysteriously Missing!
The much-anticipated MLS vs. Liga MX All-Star Game is nearly upon us, set to spotlight the crème de la crème from North America’s top soccer leagues. Yet, the excitement comes with a twist of disappointment — some heavy hitters like Gilberto Mora and Keylor Navas are now sidelined, joining the ranks of absent icons Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul. Liga MX initially included Navas and Mora in its preliminary squad, but the latest update on July 27th revealed their removal from the final roster. Navas, grappling with a minor knee setback early in the Apertura 2026 season, won’t be making the trip to Charlotte, paving the way for Pachuca’s Carlos Moreno to step in. Meanwhile, Mora’s exclusion remains a bit of a mystery; neither Liga MX nor Club Tijuana has provided a clear explanation, though the young prodigy is focusing on recovering and staying fit after a taxing World Cup and some well-earned rest. On the MLS side, the void left by Messi and De Paul – both granted special leave post-World Cup – looms large, with neither ready to hit the training pitch in time for this midsummer classic. The All-Star clash at Bank of America Stadium promises flair and fervor, but it’s certainly shaping up differently than many imagined. LEARN MORE.
