Mexico boss Juan Carlos Osorio has had to pick an inexperienced side for the 2017 Gold Cup following the side's exertions in the Confederations Cup in Russia, where he opted for their strongest team.

ESPN FC's Cesar Hernandez noted the frequency with which El Tri have faced multiple tournaments over the course of one summer:

As a result of his selection, only six players in the 23-man squad have reached double figures in caps and just two have made more than 30 appearances for the senior side.

The players selected have mustered just seven goals for their national team between them, so defending their title here will be a real challenge.

While striker Erick Torres has only contributed one of those goals—having played just four times for Mexico—he'll likely be the man tasked with firing them to glory.

He comes into the tournament in excellent form, having scored 12 and assisted two goals in 18 appearances for Houston Dynamo this season.

The club shared a look at his recent goal against FC Dallas in MLS:

The pressure will be on Osorio following Mexico's slightly disappointing Confederations Cup campaign, and it's unlikely to be easy given the largely inexperienced squad available to him.

Nevertheless, they should have little trouble getting through the group stage at the very least, and they should be able to kick off their tournament with a win on Sunday.
