Beyond the fact that it is a friendly match, the Mexican and Icelandic teams held a working meeting, recalling that they have met four times in the last 11 years.

Iceland had surprised in the last decade for its good performances, but in the last few months it has been so poor that it will not even attend the European Championship.

Due to the absence of Jiménez and Pulido, who will not be integrated until tomorrow, Martino has only Martín as his only nine players.

Mexico begins the intense summer and prior to the Nations League against Costa Rica, they will take on Iceland. We begin our coverage.

Since it will not participate in the European Championship, Iceland will have some preparation games to test players in order to improve in the qualifiers where it has only obtained 3 out of 9 possible points.

Gerardo Martino will only have this test before facing the Nations League and with the urgent need to find the man who can make a difference in the offense due to the lack of "nines".
