MEXICO CITY (AP) — New Red Bulls defender Rafael Marquez is among 13 World Cup players picked by Mexico for Wednesday’s exhibition against Spain at Azteca Stadium.
Marquez, the Mexican captain, left Barcelona and signed with New York this week.
Interim coach Enrique Meza also selected new Manchester United forward Javier Hernandez along with two other Premier League strikers: Giovani dos Santos of Tottenham and Carlos Vela of Arsenal.
Meza did not call up a single player from Chivas Guadalajara, which plays Wednesday in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores final, Latin America’s biggest club tournament.
