Mexican defender Rafael Marquez has been left off the national team roster for an exhibition against Serbia next week.
The 32-year-old Marquez, who plays for the New York Red Bulls and captained Mexico at the 2010 World Cup, joins Real Sociedad forward Carlos Vela in missing out on a place in the 20-man list.
Coach Jose Manuel De La Torre gave no official reason for their omission.
Mexico lost 2-1 at home against Brazil in its previous friendly last month.
