Mexico midfielder Edson Alvarez said the knee injury suffered Wednesday against Venezuela is 'only a scare', making it likely he'll be fit for El Tri during this summer's Gold Cup.
The Club America player, who also plays at center back and played right back under previous Mexico manager Juan Carlos Osorio, left Wednesday's friendly after just a half-hour. Fears were raised, with Alvarez having missed the Liguilla with an injury to the same knee.
The only player to start all three games under new Mexico manager Tata Martino, Alvarez still was named to Mexico's 23-man list for the Concacaf championship.
