Canada's World Cup Quest: 100 Days Out Roster Revealed

Canada is exactly 100 days away from its historic World Cup opener on June 12 in Toronto. Manager Jesse Marsch is planning to bring a large roster of up to 30 players to the March camp, allowing a final assessment of potential contributors. While over 20 players seem set for the squad, six spots remain open. Injuries to key players like Moïse Bombito and Alfie Jones create opportunities for others.

Alphonso Davies is nearing a return after a muscle tear, training individually with Bayern Munich, and could join the national team camp for the first time in a year. His role, however, remains a point of discussion, with Davies preferring an attacking position while the team sees him best suited at left back.

The goalkeeper position is the last starting spot to be solidified. Both Dayne St. Clair and Maxime Crépeau are being closely watched through March and April, with St. Clair currently holding a slight edge. In attack, forwards like Jonathan David and Cyle Larin are likely selections, though options like Charles-Andreas Brym and Aribim Pepple are emerging contenders.

Preparations also include launching new kits in mid-March, designed to capture the nation's pride. Veterans like Atiba Hoilett might be considered for their off-field contributions and on-field intelligence. The defense is largely set, with a core group of center backs expected to feature.
