Jesus "Tecatito" Corona will compete for his first cap under Mexico manager Tata Martino, and a number of 2018 World Cup veterans return to the team after missing the Gold Cup in El Tri's squad to face the United States and Argentina in September friendly matches.
Corona was called into Martino's first squad but later pulled out of the March friendly matches, setting off a spat in which the manager said he hadn't heard from the player and implied he wouldn't call him in again. That appears to be water under the bridge with the Porto player, who came up as a winger but recently has seen time at right back, included in the squad once again.
