Mexico waiting on Marquez injury

A thigh injury could rule Mexico captain Rafael Marquez out of his country's Copa America clash with host Chile.

Mexico captain Rafael Marquez could miss his side's Group A fixture against Chile at the Copa America after suffering a thigh injury.

The veteran Verona defender was forced off in the 64th minute of El Tri's disappointing goalless draw against Bolivia on Friday and he is now a major doubt for Monday's clash in Santiago.

"I have hurt my thigh, and I will have to have it assessed in 48 hours to see how it is," Marquez told reporters after the match.
