With only 30 days until the 2017 Gold Cup kicks off here, another CONCACAF nation recently announced their preliminary 40-man roster for the competition.

Juan Carlos Osorio’s Mexico squad may look a little different from expected, with the nation also taking place in the FIFA Confederations Cup later in Russia. With the likes of Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez, Hector Moreno, and Andres Guardado left off the 40-man preliminary roster, there is still a lot of talent at Osorio’s disposal.

Club America’s Oribe Peralta and Houston Dynamo’s Erick Torres highlight the list of attackers, while Rafa Marquez brings experience and leadership in the back-end.

Mexico is back-to-back Gold Cup Champion, and will look to bring home their eighth title this summer. They kick off their Gold Cup schedule on July 9 against El Salvador.
