An upbeat Jesse Marsch revealed his first roster as Canada coach on Monday, serving up plenty of enthusiasm if not innovation.
But the 50-year-old American, who has only been on the job for two weeks, was quick to note that the 26-man squad marks just the start of his journey. With Canada is set to open play in Copa America on June 20, more players will get their chance to impress after high-profile friendlies against the Netherlands and France on June 6 and 9 respectively.
The three players who have not carried over to Marsch's squad are 22-year-old goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois and 28-year-old defender Joel Waterman and 21-year-old forward Jacen Russell-Rowe . "I think we'll at certain times try a few things to move him around, to get him on the ball more," he added. The fixtures mark Canada's highest-ranked opponents since the 2022 World Cup when the Canadian men lost 1-0 to second-ranked Belgium.
