Both Salcedo and Torres are currently with Chivas de Guadalajara, although Torres is on loan and will join the Houston Dynamo after the Clausura ends.

Veteran Club America striker Oribe Peralta and Cruz Azul defender Francisco Rodriguez are among the more experienced players on the entirely domestic-based roster, with European-based players such as Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez, Giovani and Jonathan Dos Santos and Hector Herrera not called in due to the game not falling on an official FIFA fixture date.
