Canada is getting reinforcements for its World Cup qualifying games against Costa Rica and Mexico with captain Atiba Hutchinson, Cyle Larin, Milan Borjan and Lucas Cavallini returning in Edmonton.
Captain Atiba Hutchinson, Cyle Larin, Milan Borjan and Lucas Cavallini are back in the squad after missing the October matches. Hutchinson, Larin and Cavallini were dealing with injuries while Borjan, Canada's No. 1 goalkeeper, was recovering from COVID-19.
Canada currently stands third in the Octagonal standings behind Mexico and the 13th-ranked U.S. Panama and Costa Rica fifth. ``He's playing at one of the top clubs in Belgium and he's got a plan in his mind about where he wants to get in his career. And Canada's part of that plan,'' said Herdman.
Missing through injury for the November window are Junior Hoilett, Scott Kennedy and Charles-Andreas Brym. Hoilett and Kennedy were also unavailable in October. ``What he's really been able to bring is a winning mentality and to speak with level of confidence ? that anything is possible with this team. I haven't seen a massive change _ because you don't want Phonzie to change. You want him to keep being him and everything that's good about him. But he is shaping the mentality of this new Canada and rightly so. He's been there and done it at the highest levels.
The two sides have drawn both previous meetings at Commonwealth Stadium by the same 2-2 score _ in October 1997 and October 2008.The Canadian men reached the final round of CONCACAF qualifying for the first time since the leadup to France '98 after winning a first-round group that included Aruba, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands and Suriname. Herdman's team then eliminated Haiti in a two-legged second-round series.
