Mexican national team head coach Miguel Herrera has named his 18-man roster ahead of the April 2 friendly against the USMNT (11 pm ET, ESPN, UniMas) and unsurprisingly, it is entirely composed of players from Mexico's Liga MX.

But perhaps El Tri’s hottest attacker based in Mexico, Santos Laguna forward Oribe Peralta, will not be in camp ahead of the match at Univesity of Phoenix Stadium, because of personal reasons. The 30-year-old forward has three goals in his last four games with Santos.

There will be some familiar faces for MLS fans on the roster, namely former New York Red Bulls Designated Player Rafa Márquez, who retains his place in Herrera's plans leading up to the World Cup, as well as players from the Cruz Azul (two players) and Toluca (three players) sides that knocked MLS opposition out of the CONCACAF Champions League last week.

Club América, Herrera's former club, are the most represented club with seven players on the roster.

The group will meet in Mexico City on Sunday and leave for Arizona on Monday.
