Wow very interesting article. No European players. So no Chicharito at all then. Big move.
It isn't a fifa window so they aren't available.
See my post back on page 180 of this thread near the bottom - not only are they not available, he doesn't want them anyway. Finland game is the first of three friendlies incl. two against club sides and sounds like he won't be calling up any Europe-based players for the play-offs:

MEXICO SQUAD NAMED FOR ALL WHITES
Mexico City (Reuters)
"The 22 players in the squad the stocky Herrera, nicknamed Piojo (louse) picked for a friendly warmup against Finland on October 30 are all with Mexican clubs.
''There are lots of America people because there's little time to work, because they know perfectly well what we want on the pitch and this way we can reach the level we need a lot quicker,'' Herrera said.
He added that it was unlikely he would call any of Mexico's foreign-based players like Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez and Villarreal's Giovani dos Santos because they were not in good form."

Seems the players named yesterday are the basis for the play-off games - but he will name his final selection after three friendlies (v Finland Thursday next week NZT and two friendlies v club sides):
