Song will play in front of the back four of Benoit Assou-Ekotto, Nicolas Nkoulou, Aurelien Chedjou and Cedric Djeugoue against a Mexico side that is expected to come out and attack from the start, particularly down the flanks.

Corona and striker Javier "Little Pea" Hernandez, Mexico's third most prolific international goalscorer of all time, were included among the substitutes.
