World Cup 2010: Mexico Squad - Jonathan Dos Santos Misses Out

Mexico national team coach Javier Aguirre has announced his final squad for the 2010 World Cup. Aguirre cut three names from his provisional roster after the 5-1 friendly win against Gambia.

Young Barcelona midfielder Jonathan Dos Santos is the most notable player to miss out on the final selection. Defensive duo Juan Carlos Valenzuela (America) and Adrian Aldrete (Morelia) were the other two players to miss the cut.

"The Mexican Football Federation is grateful to Jonathan Dos Santos, Juan Carlos Valenzuela and Adrian Aldrete for their dedication, discipline, professionalism and commitment shown during the preparations with the national team," read a statement on the governing body's official website.

Mexico have been drawn in Group A alongside Uruguay, France and host nation South Africa, who they face in the curtain raiser in Johannesburg on June 11.
