Mexico Debate Edson Alvarez Replacement vs South Korea

Cesar Montes received a red card in the closing stages of the match against South Africa, leaving Mexico with a defensive dilemma for the upcoming clash. While Edson Alvarez is the natural replacement to fill the center-back void, his recent return from ankle surgery raises doubts about his match fitness.

Analysts suggest that Israel Reyes might be a safer option to maintain stability against South Korea. The coaching staff faces a critical decision to ensure the defense remains solid.
