Guardado, Reyes make Mexico's 23-man World Cup squad

Andres Guardado and Deigo Reyes were named to Mexico's 23-man roster for the World Cup, the Mexican federation announced shortly after midnight local time Monday.

The stars, along with center-back Hector Moreno, missed out on Saturday's 1-0 friendly win against Scotland with injuries and are continuing to recover. Guardado underwent a procedure shortly after the end of the season with Real Betis to repair a nerve issue in his leg while Reyes is nursing a hamstring problem. Moreno has a calf knock but is expected to be fit for Saturday's friendly against Denmark and the World Cup after.
