Alvarez, young Mexico players can seize Wales chance to make World Cup roster

The America defender is among a group of players who must use Monday's friendly to build their case for Russia

Edson Alvarez probaly won't make the World Cup with Mexico. After all, he's only 20 years old and isn't even coming off that good of a campaign with Club America. It looks like his chance is gone. Then again, he has another opportunity.

Alvarez is one of a handful of Mexico players likely on the outside looking in for manager Juan Carlos Osorio's 23-man World Cup roster who have a last chance to convince the coach to take them to Russia.
