Mexico are without Hector Moreno in the middle of their defence after
he picked up his second booking of the tournament during the defeat to
Sweden. Ayala takes his place in the back four, while Marquez comes
into the side to replace Layun in the middle of the park.
His experience could be vital for El Tri this afternoon.
Marcelo has not been passed fit for this afternoon’s contest after
suffering back spasms in Brazil’s win over Serbia. Filipe Luis comes
into the side at left-back in place of the Real Madrid man. Other than
that Tite has named the same side that defeated Serbia, keeping with
the front three of Willian, Neymar and Jesus ahead of Firmino on the
bench.

Miguel Layun, Marco Fabian, Raul Jimenez, Giovani dos Santos, Alfredo
