With Jimenez still unfit to start, Mexico will rely on Lozano for the goals. The Napoli winger will need to hit full throttle and has had a good season with Napoli so far. But he has been misfiring a lot for Mexico lately, despite a confirmed place in the playing XI. The serious injury sustained by Corona adds more pressure on him, and he will be looking to use his pace and skills to break opposition defences!

Ochoa defended Martino's decision to call up Jimenez for the World Cup, who fighting to be fit for the opener. "I see Raul’s ambition, hunger and desire to play, to be on the field, to contribute and help the team. The desire to play football again after what happened to his head [the clash with David Luiz in 2020] is an example for everyone. It has to be a motivation, an example of life. I’ve seen him doing very well in training, I’ve seen him working on extra things", the veteran goalkeeper said.

"This is an important game for us. It’s important that we show confidence. We know Mexico play high quality soccer, we know their potential. We’ll fight to win and we’ll do our best", Lewandowski said.

"They have a lot of quality and pace, and are dynamic. We’ll have to be ready to stop them causing us problems", he further added.
