Mexico head coach Juan Carlos Osorio has named a 29-player squad for upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Honduras and the United States on June 8 and June 11, respectively.
Captain Rafa Marquez played 22 minutes in El Tri's 3-1 victory on Thursday against Ireland in MetLife Stadium and is included, despite not having featured before then since March 24.
Tigres midfielder Jesus Duenas is also in after he missed the recent friendlies against Croatia and Ireland due to family problems. Osorio indicated Thursday that he would decide Duenas' fate depending on whether the player called him and confirmed his availability.
