The Week 11 Monday night matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams is expected to remain at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City despite concerns about field conditions, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

"We are working closely with the field manager at Azteca Stadium and others to ensure that we have an NFL quality surface for our game, and we are looking forward to kicking off in Mexico City on Monday night," said NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy.

Another source told Schefter that the game could still be relocated to Los Angeles as a true home contest for the Rams, with that decision to come later this week.

The stadium in Mexico City has been used heavily for soccer games and concerts, leading to concern from the NFLPA.

League officials are expected to check out the field and stadium on Tuesday morning.
