Canada coach Jesse Marsch has finalized his roster for Copa America, finding places for late call-ups Ali Ahmed, Tani Oluwaseyi and Jacen Russell-Rowe in his 26-man squad.
Missing out are defender Dominick Zator and winger Charles-Andreas Brym, who were both part of the Canadian camp. Forward Iké Ugbo was invited to the Canada camp but decided"for personal reasons to take a break," said Marsch.
"Obviously we're excited for this tournament," said Marsch, who took over as Canada coach on May 13."We know it's a big challenge." Oluwaseyi was a late addition to the Canada camp ahead of the two friendlies and won his first cap off the bench against the French. Other familiar faces includes Maxime Crepeau, Alphonso Davies, Jonathan David, Stephen Eustaquio, Alistair Johnston, Cyle Larin, Jonathan Osorio and Samuel Piette.
Marsch has yet to announce his captain. Davies wore the armband against the Dutch while Eustaquio led the team out against France. CONMEBOL announced on the eve of the tournament that it would be postponed to 2002 due to security concerns. But five days later, it decided to go ahead with the event in Colombia.
