Desiree Scott and Janine Beckie return after lengthy knee injury layoffs to join Canada at next month's SheBelieves Cup.
The 29-year-old Beckie, who has 36 goals in 101 appearances for Canada, underwent surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee after going down in a Portland Thorns pre-season game in March 2023.Both players joined the Canada squad in December ahead of a pair of B.C. friendlies against Australia that marked the international swan song for longtime captain Christine Sinclair. They did not see action but continued their "return to play" protocols with the squad.
Adding to the potential Olympic player pool are Sydney Collins, Nichelle Prince and Jayde Riviere, who are unavailable for the SheBelieves Cup due to injury.
