Mexico go into Wednesday’s must-win World Cup match against Saudi Arabia without captain Andres Guardado, who was forced off in the loss to Argentina because of injury.

Sultan Al-Ghannam, Hassan Al-Tambakti and Ali Al-Hassan were named in a Saudi team that shows three changes from the 2-0 loss to Poland.
