NORWICH City winger Onel Hernandez could be set to make his debut for Cuba at the end of this month, after a handful of foreign-based players were called up to the national team for the first time.
He will be part of the squad for the Concacaf 2022 World Cup qualifying games against Guatemala and Curacao, which will both take place in Guatemala City at the end of March.
Hernandez has been called up to the Cuba national team before, in November 2018, but even though he was permitted to join up with the squad to train, his call-up to the team itself was later rescinded.
