Mexico coach Rafael Márquez confirmed teen phenom Gilberto Mora is fit and 'eligible' to face the United States this Saturday after dealing with ankle pain earlier in the week. The 17-year-old Club Tijuana player underwent routine tests for slight discomfort but is recovering well. Márquez, now in his first match as Mexico's head coach after taking over from Javier Aguirre, emphasized the competitive nature of the upcoming friendly in Glendale, Arizona.
He noted the U.S. team is very competitive and the match will serve the purpose of their developmental process. Mexico enters the game with a 0W-2D-0L record following draws against Colombia and Peru. The team recently won the 2024-25 Nations League and 2025 Gold Cup, defeating the U.S. 2-1 in that tournament.
