Hector Herrera out for Mexico friendlies vs. Iceland, Croatia

Hector Herrera won't take part in Mexico's March friendly matches, with the injuries adding up for El Tri.

Manager Juan Carlos Osorio already will be without Jurgen Damm, Javier Aquino and Jonathan dos Santos for Friday's game against Iceland and Tuesday's contest with Croatia. Giovani dos Santos was left off the initial roster because of injury. Now, the veteran Porto midfielder has been added to the injury list.

He will begin recovery with the national team, though Porto may elect to call the player back and have him work with their medical staff.

"Effectively, Hector has a problem, it's the same one that caused him to miss the games against Belgium and Poland.
