Guardado fit for Mexico, starts with Dos Santos in midfield vs. Haiti

Andres Guardado is starting for the Mexico national team in its semifinal against Haiti.

The veteran captain was in doubt for this game, with manager Tata Martino saying the interior midfielder was deadling with a knock picked up in the second game of the tournament - an injury that nearly led Martino to rest him in the quarterfinal against Costa Rica.

However, he started and will do so again. So too will Jonathan dos Santos, who came out of the quarterfinal complaining of a cramp but said after the match that he'd be fit for tonight's contest despite only three days between the encounters.
