Things aren't getting any easier for Ricardo "Tuca" Ferretti. The Mexico interim manager watched as a young team suffered a 4-1 loss to Uruguay on Friday, and he now has to turn around and get ready for a rivalry clash with the United States on Tuesday.
Ferretti already had a limited squad with a majority of Mexico's World Cup veterans staying with their clubs rather than coming in for the first international dates after the tournament. His options are even fewer with Standard Liege goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa and PSV duo Hirving Lozano and Erick Gutierrez heading back to Europe straight from Houston rather than traveling to Nashville to face the U.
