Technical director Rafael Márquez put cold clothes to the uncertainty surrounding the tricolor camp by assuring in a press conference that the jewel of the Xolos of Tijuana, Gilberto Mora, evolved favorably and that it is eligible to play, without defining, whether as a title or relief.
The talented border midfielder sparked the alarms of the Aztec representative due to a severe pain in the right ankle that forced him to undergo various routine medical examinations in New York.

The presence of the youth footballer on the pitch of the State Farm Stadium in Glendale could incline the balance in a duel where Mexico will try to harvest its 39th triumph over the combination of the bars and the stars.
Although the Michoacano strategist did not want to advance whether the skilled bond will be part of the title eleven, the latest leaks indicate that the technical body would prefer to keep it in the bank to not risk it.
The tricolor has the urgency to sign a positive result in Arizona to shake up the negative inertia after linking two consecutive draws in the international cartel against the squads of Colombia and Peru.
