Mexico announces final Gold Cup roster with Alvarez's status in doubt, Gudino, Fabian cut

Mexico manager Tata Martino announced his 23-man roster for this summer's Gold Cup after a 3-1 win over Venezuela on Wednesday, with midfielder Edson Alvarez's status the main source of drama.

The Club America player left the friendly in the 31st minute, grabbing at the same knee that kept him from playing in the Liguilla with Las Aguilas.

Martino named only 29 players on his provisional roster, so his options to replace Alvarez are limited if the 21-year-old isn't fit.

“Edson’s situation is we need to evaluate him a bit more," Martino said at a news conference after the contest.
