Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez is confident that his Mexico teammates will come home with an Olympic medal in the football tournament of London 2012.
The 24-year-old was originally hopeful of competing in the Games this summer before being denied the chance by Red Devils manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
"Of course, I always love playing for my country but the decision was made and I'm really happy to be able to work hard with United during pre-season," Hernandez told Inside United.
"I think Mexico have a real chance and a lot of good players. It's a very good generation for our country. We won the Toulon Tournament (a annual Under-21 competition held in France), so there are a lot of hopes for the team."
Mexico begin their Olympics campaign with a fixture against South Korea today.
