Mexico trims World Cup roster to 24 players

El Tri's World Cup squad is nearly set with just one cut to make for Juan Carlos Osorio from the team he's taking to Denmark

Mexico will travel with 24 players to Denmark, cutting three more from its World Cup provisional roster.

Center back Oswaldo Alanis, winger Jurgen Damm and midfielder Jesus Molina will be left at home after all three took part in Mexico's scoreless draw Monday with Wales.

Mexico manager Juan Carlos Osorio was hoping to begin camp with 23 players but with friendly matches against Wales and Saturday against Scotland, he named a 28-man provisional roster.
