Damm, Salcedo headline first Mexico roster of 2016

The young Tigres winger and Chivas defender are among the players Juan Carlos Osorio has called for next week's friendly in Miami.

Mexico manager Juan Carlos Osorio has called his first roster of 2016, bringing in a young group for the friendly against Senegal on Feb. 10.

The match does not take place during a FIFA window, so Osorio has called a group made up entirely of players currently playing in Liga MX.

That group includes center back Carlos Salcedo of Chivas, despite the fact that Chivas owner Jorge Vergara and Grupo Omnilife president Jose Luis Higuera said the club doesn't plan to release players for non-FIFA dates.
