Canada coach Jesse Marsch says all players are available for the match against Peru, but striker Cyle Larin is a game-time decision after a back injury. Marsch also hints at mass lineup changes.
Canada head coach Jesse Marsch has revealed that all players are available for the team's match against Peru on Saturday, but striker Cyle Larin is a game-time decision after hurting his back in the weight room. Marsch also hinted at mass changes to the starting lineup from the one that faced Chile.
Larin's Back Injury a Concern
Cyle Larin sustained a back injury while working out in the weight room, according to Marsch. The striker's status for Saturday's game will be determined closer to kickoff. Larin has been a key attacking option for Canada, and his potential absence could impact the team's offensive strategy.
Marsch did not elaborate on the severity of the injury, but the game-time decision suggests it is not considered serious enough to rule Larin out entirely. The team will monitor his condition in the hours leading up to the match.
Marsch Hints at Lineup Changes
Marsch indicated that there will be mass changes to the starting lineup compared to the match against Chile. This suggests he is looking to rotate players and possibly test different combinations ahead of important fixtures. The coach did not specify which positions would see changes.
Canada's depth will be tested with the potential absence of Larin, but Marsch's comments imply that he has confidence in the squad's ability to adapt. The match against Peru presents an opportunity for other players to step up.
