No surprises in Mexico's 40-man Copa squad

There were no surprises as Javier Hernandez and Andres Guardado headlined Mexico's preliminary squad for next month's Copa America Centenario.

With the Copa America set to get underway in the United States on June 3, Juan Carlos Osorio released his initial 40-man squad on Monday.

And as expected, Bayer Leverkusen star Hernandez - second on Mexico's all-time list for goalscorers - and captain Guardado were included.

Giovani dos Santos, who has scored four goals in his past three games for LA Galaxy, was also given the nod, alongside brother Jonathan, veteran defender Rafael Marquez, Malaga goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa and Real Sociedad's Carlos Velas in squad with a mix of experience and youth.
