The Mexico national team will take the pitch at AT&T Stadium to face Colombia in the first of two October international friendlies.
Javier Aguirre revealed recently that he already has in mind “around 80%” of the roster that will represent El Tri in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Friendly games provide fringe players with big opportunities to capture some of the final spots on the roster.
Mexico’s squad has been depleted by injuries. Raúl Jiménez, Edson Álvarez, Roberto Alvarado and Rodrigo Huescas—players who started for El Tri last month—are all sidelined, presenting other players with a massive chance to impress.
Colombia will be a worthy adversary and a solid test for Aguirre’s side. Néstor Lorenzo’s team is full of talented players and El Tri will have to be at its best to continue its 9-game unbeaten run.
Here’s how Mexico could lineup against Colombia on Saturday night.
