A versatile, experienced performer, Arellano can play on either flank in midfield, just behind the main striker or as an out and out forward. Made his international debut ten years ago against Chile and was part of the squad for the last World Cup finals tournament in Japan and Korea. He has made well over 50 appearances for his country, but has something of a short fuse, having twice been sent off for Mexico. Has spent his entire professional career with Monterrey and at 33 is coming into the twilight of his career on the international stage.
