Mexico winger Aquino not taking World Cup spot for granted

Though he played in seven of El Tri's 10 matches in the final round of qualification, the Tigres player isn't sure he'll make the final cut

Javier Aquino has been a regular in Mexico squads during the past several years but isn't taking his place on the World Cup roster for granted.

Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio named a 28-man squad Monday, which he must trim to 23 players before FIFA's June 4 deadline. Osorio said he would've liked to name the 23-man roster, but injury concerns surrounding several players forced him to call in a larger squad.
