Jul 3, 2009 9:53:10 PM
A day after losing Omar Arellano to injury, Mexico added a World Cup veteran to their Gold Cup squad.
Guillermo Franco replaced Arellano on the Gold Cup roster and will be available for selection in Sunday's opener against Nicaragua in Oakland.
Franco immediately became one of the squad's most experienced players. As a 2006 World Cup veteran, Franco brings experience to a team filled with youngsters.
Mexico opted for Franco as he was the only option available to the team who currently is without a club. Franco's days with Villarreal are over and he has been linked with Monterrey, his former team, but has not reached an agreement with any club.
