El Tri and the USMNT lock horns in an interesting friendly match to put an end to September's International break.

The USMNT and Mexico face each other once again, in what will be a re-edition of the classic CONCACAF rivalry between the regions' "giants".

Both teams get to this match in similar circumstances. The Stars and Stripes face this game with a majority of youngsters, since only three players of those Dave Sarachan called up surpass 20 international games.

Christian Pulisic's injury will force Sarachan to give a starting nod to youngsters such as Wil Trapp and Tim Weah, while Bobby Wood and Gyasi Zardes will try to score the goals against El Tri.

Regarding El Tri, injuries and absences from their main players will give interim boss Ricardo Ferretti a bit of a headache to put up a competitive squad for Tuesday's clash.

Their 4-1 loss to Uruguay on Friday raised a few doubts among fans and experts, and given that some of their "legionnaires" decided to return to their clubs, it will be up to young players such as Diego Láinez, Roberto Alvarado and Jesús Gallardo to lead the pack against the USMNT.

The game is set to be played at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, in a date that will surely lead to all sorts of homages due to its historic relevance in the United States.
