Dos Santos starts for Mexico

Giovani dos Santos has been deemed fit enough to start for Mexico in their Group B finale against Switzerland at the Millennium Stadium this afternoon.

The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder has featured in both of Mexico's previous games, but only as a substitute as he struggled with a muscular problem.

Former Fulham defender Carlos Salcido is also named in the XI for the Central American nation.

Current Cottagers midfielder Pajtim Kasami is handed a berth in the Switzerland lineup, which is captained by experienced goalkeeper Diego Benaglio.

Mexico: Corona; Salcido, Mier, Chavez, Virido; Dos Santos, Aquino, Enriquez, Reyes; Fabian, Peralta

Switzerland: Benaglio; Affolter, Daprela, Klose, Schaer; Abrashi, Buff, Frei, Kasami; Emeghara, Mehmedi
