Teen phenom Gil Mora clears injury hurdle, fit for Mexico-U.S. clash

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.

墨西哥主帅拉斐尔·马尔克斯证实，年轻新星吉尔·莫拉已恢复健康，有资格本周六迎战美国。本周早些时候，他曾因踝部疼痛而感到不适。 这名17岁的克鲁斯阿吉拉斯球员因轻微不适接受了例行检查，但恢复情况良好。 马尔克斯目前是墨西哥主帅，他在接替哈维尔·阿吉雷担任主帅后的首场比赛中强调了即将到来的亚利桑那州格伦代尔友谊赛的竞争性。 他指出，美国队非常具有竞争力，这场比赛将有助于他们的发展进程。 墨西哥在对阵哥伦比亚和秘鲁的两场比赛中均以平局收场，目前的战绩是0胜2平0负。 该队最近赢得了2024-25年国家联赛和2025年金杯赛，并在该赛事中以2比1击败了美国队。
