Mexico starting lineup: Chicharito, Tecatito lead the line against Wales

Hirving Lozano will start on the bench while Juan Carlos Osorio tests out an inexperienced back line

Jesus "Chicharito" Corona and Jesus "Tecatito" Corona will start for Mexico against Wales on Monday as the team begins its final preparations for the World Cup.

Tigres winger Javier Aquino also gets the start in attack with Corona and Chicharito with Hirving Lozano starting on the bench after his standout season with PSV.

El Tri manager Juan Carlos Osorio has several players recovering from injuries with Andres Guardado, Diego Reyes and Hector Moreno unavailable for this contest. That has led to an inexperienced back line with America defender Edson Alvarez on the right, Hugo Ayala and Oswaldo Alanis in the center and Jesus Gallardo on the left back.
