Mexico makes two more injury switches for World Cup qualification

Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio has been forced to make two more switches to the team that will travel to El Salvador and face Honduras at home.

A day after Orbelin Pineda replaced Paul Aguilar on Mexico's World Cup qualification roster, Mexico announced two more roster changes for games against El Salvador and Honduras.

Winger Jesus "Tecatito" Corona of Porto won't be able to make the trip to San Salvador and the Estadio Azteca because of an injury to his right collarbone. His place in the team will be taken by Elias Hernandez, the Leon midfielder.

And in defense, Santos Laguna center back Nestor Araujo will be kept out of the squad because of a right knee issue.
