Weah starts for U.S. vs. Mexico, Lainez, Alvarado lead El Tri attack

Tim Weah is set to provide an attacking threat for the United States against rival Mexico on Tuesday with El Tri hoping to put pressure on the Americans with young attackers Diego Lainez and Roberto Alvarado making their first starts.

Weah, a PSG prospect, starts for the first time since the United States' match against Bolivia prior to the World Cup. On the other wing is Kellyn Acosta, playing wide instead of in the middle for a U.S. team that called few wide players in for these matches.

Shaq Moore and Eric Lichaj are set to start as outside backs, with Matt Miazga starting alongside Cameron Carter-Vickers in the middle.
