Mexico finally announced the squad for their upcoming friendly, which will be played on Wednesday against Chile. While there had been leaks of the players who have been training all week with the national team, the list wasn’t completed until Sunday when the Liga MX semifinals concluded and players from the teams eliminated in the semifinal could be called up.
Coach Gerard Martino called up the following players:
Goalkeepers: Alfredo Talavera (Pumas), Carlos Acevedo (Santos), Luis Malagon (Necaxa)
Defenders: Julain Araujo (LA Galaxy), Salvador Reyes (America), Luis Olivas (Chivas), Omar Campos (Santos), Jordan Silva (America), Israel Reyes (Puebla), Emilio Lara (America)
Midfielders: Marcelo Flores (Arsenal), Sebastian Cordova (America), Alfonso Gonzalez (Monterrey), Efrain Alvarez (LA Galaxy), Erik Lira (Pumas), Fernando Beltran (Chivas), Mauro Lainez (America), Alan Cervantes (Santos), Erik Aguirre (Monterrey)
Forwards: Santiago Gimenez (Cruz Azul), Benjamin Galdames (Union Española), Eduardo Aguirre (Santos), Uriel Antuna (Chivas)
As the match is a non-FIFA date friendly, it is a call up list of mostly young players, the same situation that Chile will have.
