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.
Sees red card vs. South Africa
Montes was sent off in Thursday's WC opener against South Africa.
Analysis: In a World Cup opener that had three red cards, Montes was the latest player to get sent off following a harsh foul near the edge of the box. The Lokomotiv Moscow defender will miss the match against South Korea on June 18, but he could be available to face the Czech Republic on June 24 as long as his ban is just one game.
