The Mexican national team has announced its squad for the September friendlies against Uruguay and the United States. The 27-man squad includes several Europe-based players, as well as some from the Mexican league.
The European-based players in the squad are Hirving Lozano (PSV Eindhoven), Hector Herrera (Porto), Diego Reyes (Leganes), Jesus Corona (Porto), Guillermo Ochoa (Standard Liege), and Raul Jimenez (Wolverhampton Wanderers).
