Dos Santos starts, captains El Tri; Gonzalez begins on bench vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina

The LA Galaxy player is wearing the armband with soon-to-be rival Carlos Vela also in the starting XI

SAN ANTONIO — Giovani dos Santos is starting and wearing the captain's armband while midfielder Jonathan Gonzalez begins on the bench for the first Mexico match of 2018.

The LA Galaxy star will play in the midfield of a 4-3-3 formation to begin the contest against Bosnia and Herzegovina with Chivas midfielder Orbelin Pineda and Monterrey midfielder Jesus Molina, who typically is on the Monterrey bench behind Gonzalez.

Gonzalez, a Mexican-American dressed for El Tri for the first time since filing a one-time change of association earlier this year, can enter as one of six substitutes.
