#3 Javier Hernandez
A poor season by his standard, Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez still managed to score 11 Bundesliga goals for Bayer Leverkusen in just 20 games as they avoided the relegation play-off by just four points.
The former Manchester United forward recently surpassed Jared Borgetti’s record as Mexico’s all-time leading scorer with his goal against Croatia last month, taking his tally to 47.
"I think Javier is one of the best finishers in the world," Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio said after the Croatia game.
In a group with Russia, Portugal and New Zealand, Mexico will need the 28-year-old on his best form, with the former two favourite to advance.
