Dos Santos starts on the bench again

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
