Scores Wednesday
Quinones scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-0 victory over Czechia.
Analysis: Quinones was once again on the score sheet for Mexico after opening up the scoring at the World Cup against South Africa, with the forward putting in a loose ball in the 61st minute for the second goal of the match. He is now up to two goals on nine shots in his three appearances. With three starts in three games, he should remain a crucial piece in the knockouts.
Back in full training
Quinones (undisclosed) was back training with the Mexico squad and appeared to be in full shape and good spirits, suggesting he should be fit for Thursday's clash against South Korea, according to TNT Sports Mexico.
Analysis: Quinones had raised some concern after asking to be substituted in the 79th minute of the opening victory over South Africa, with coach Javier Aguirre noting he was limping and appeared to be managing some fatigue. However, his return to training without any apparent restrictions is an encouraging sign, and the one-week rest between fixtures appears to have been sufficient for him to recover. The forward was the standout performer against South Africa, scoring the opening goal and coming close to adding a second, and his availability for Thursday's fixture is welcome news for Aguirre heading into what promises to be a demanding second group stage clash.
