Hernandez, Dos Santos excluded from Mexico squad

Javier Hernandez and Giovanni dos Santos were two of seven big omissions from Mexico's preliminary squad for the 2015 Copa America in Chile.

Veteran defender Rafael Marquez, 36, will lead the 23-man squad - seven are on standby - which will be finalised on June 1.

Squad in full:

Goalkeepers: Jesus Corona (Cruz Azul), Edgar Hernandez (Veracruz), Alfredo Talavera (Toluca).

Defenders: Adrian Aldrete (Santos Laguna), Hugo Ayala (Tigres UNAL), George Corral (Queretaro), Julio Dominguez (Cruz Azul), Gerardo Flores (Cruz Azul), Miguel Herrera (Pachuca), Rafa Marquez (Hellas Verona), Carlos Salcido (Guadalajara), Efrain Velarde (Monterray).
