Tottenham Hotspur's Giovani Dos Santos has been deemed only fit enough to start Mexico's match against Gabon this afternoon on the bench.
The attacking midfielder is currently struggling with a muscular problem that has limited his ability to train with his teammates in recent weeks.
For Gabon, striker Roguy Meye will lead the line in a 4-5-1 formation.
Mexico: Corona; Salcido, Mier, Chavez, Reyes; Herrera, Aquino, Ponce, Virido; Fabian, Peralta
Gabon: Ovono; Dinda, Engonga, Ndong, Tandjigora; Ndoumbou, Madinda, Boussoughou, Obiang, Aubameyang; Meye
