El Tri will kick off a new European tour facing a well-known opponent. Get a hold of this match wherever you are with our detailed guide.

One of the teams that has taken advantage of some of the traveling restrictions caused by the coronavirus crisis is the Mexican National Team, who will make one more trip to Europe and face a couple of Asian sides in this FIFA International Break.

El Tri traveled to the Netherlands during the past International Break, and their win against the Dutch side and a late draw facing Algeria were praised by Mexican media members. Now, the North American side will face South Korea and Japan in one more international tour, with all to play for against two rivals they have faced in the past.

Coach Gerardo Martino was able to call up some of the most talented players available for Mexico, including Hirving "Chucky" Lozano, who was not able to have a role in the team's last games after being quarantined by the Italian government. Now, Lozano is back with El Tri, and he will surely be handed a stellar role when the team takes on South Korea.

Unfortunately for Martino, there will be some absences in his team. One major injury absence will be that of goalkeeper Alfredo Talavera, who has earned praise as the best goalkeeper in the regular season of the Guard1anes 2020 tournament in Mexico. One more absence for the Mexican team will be that of Erick Aguirre, who was called up by Martino but had to stay in Mexico after testing positive for COVID-19.

As for South Korea, coach Paulo Bento seems eager to get his team in shape ahead of the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers that will begin next year. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the only activity the team has had this year were a couple of friendlies against the U-23 South Korean side, so this will be their first proper matches of the year.

Bento will have some of his finest footballers around for this game, including Tottenham Hotspur's star Son Heung-Min. Other notable inclusions in this squad are Hwang Hee-chan, and 19-year-old Lee Kang-in. Unfortunately for Bento, four players that were originally called up were unable to join the team, which will force their boss to make some last-minute changes to the lineup he had prepared to face Mexico.

The game is set to take place at Wiener Neustadt Stadion in Vienna, Austria.
