Team News for Mexico
Two key players who will miss the match for Mexico against Colombia are Edson Álvarez and Raúl Jiménez. Neither Mexican star was called up since Jiménez suffered an injury while playing for Fulham in the Premier League, and Álvarez has just recently returned from injury.
Álvarez recently played for Fenerbahçe SK last weekend, where he started his first match back since his injury in the Mexico vs Japan friendly match in September.
Rodrigo Huescas is also a big loss for the Mexican National Team as the right-back suffered an ACL injury during a Champions League game for Copenhagen.
