Joey Corona has had a great year with the Xolos and is contributed to results against some of the best teams in the world in the Copa Lib - he fills the hybrid fwd/mid spot Donovan normally would...and might keep it even if Donovan comes back at 110%.
Jermaine Jones should be out of the XI - his possession play has been poor, his 'enforcer' defensive game is a liability, and his offensive production has been crap except for the assist against Honduras. I'd rather have 3 mids who can go forward effectively and actually shoot.
