Mexico head coach Javier Aguirre has unveiled his squad for January friendlies against Panama and Bolivia, with Richard Ledezma and Brian Gutiérrez among the standout names.

Barcelona star Raphinha is reportedly "furious" at Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti for playing him against Bolivia, with World Cup qualification already assured.
