Starts after suspension
Montes generated one tackle (one won) and 12 clearances in Wednesday's 3-0 win against Czech Republic.
Analysis: Montes was back in the starting XI for Mexico after his suspension, with the defender playing the full 90. He would earn a tackle won and a team-leading 12 tackles to go along with a clean sheet. With his suspension behind him, a starting role should remain for the defender.
No longer suspended
Montes is no longer suspended and is an option for the group stage finale against Czechia on June 24.
Analysis: Montes is no longer banned after his red card against South Africa in Mexico's opener, as the defender is an option to face Czechia after sitting out against South Korea. He was a starter in their opener, so this will be a big return for the team despite their clean sheet and win without him. He will look to reclaim the starting role as Mexico prepares for the knockouts following qualification.
