Mexico roster reflects El Tri's transitional period

Tuca Ferretti's squad to face Argentina features some familiar veterans and some young prospects, showing the moment the team finds itself in

Tuca Ferretti is at the 'usual suspects' stage of his tenure as Mexico interim manager.

Ferretti has a core of players who he feels comfortable calling in, even as he looks to expand the player pool and give opportunities to younger players. The work he's doing now won't be all for naught, but it definitely will be less important once a new manager arrives in December.

His rosters, which do feature plenty of young players but also include old reliables like Guillermo Ochoa, Raul Jimenez and Miguel Layun, who is on the roster for the first time since the World Cup, show the transitional moment Mexico is at right now.
