Lainez was the player who emerged from Mexico's disappointing campaign with the most credit.
Liga MX side America have already given him an appearance since his return from India, using him for 73 minutes in the cup game against Cruz Azul.
The diminutive Lainez has long been regarded as one of Mexico's most exciting young prospects - he made his competitive debut against Santos in March 2017.
