Young Barcelona midfielder Jonathan Dos Santos was cut from Mexico's final 23-man squad for the World Cup finals on Monday.

The 20-year-old, who made his national team debut last September, was overlooked by coach Javier Aguirre despite playing the full 90 minutes of Mexico's 5-1 friendly win over Gambia on Sunday.

Defensive duo Juan Carlos Valenzuela (America) and Adrian Aldrete (Morelia) were the other two players to miss out.
