Despite manager Jaime Lozano not officially ruling out Alvarez, hinting at further tests on Tuesday, he acknowledged the need for other seasoned squad members to step up."Of course it is a hard hit to lose your captain in the first match in the tournament such as this one. But I think the team became stable very fast . They gave a great performance."

Mexico, who are playing their 11th Copa America, hold the record for the most appearances by any guest nation at the South American tournament. Top spot in the group is up for grabs in Wednesday's clash after Venezuela managed a 2-1 comeback win against 10-man Ecuador in their opening match on Saturday.
