Overview
- Canada announced a 26-player roster on Sept. 15 that leaves out captain Alphonso Davies, goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau and centre back Moïse Bombito.
- Davies married Sheyenne Jen in late July and is using the September international window for a honeymoon after discussions with the coaching staff about partial camp attendance.
- Marsch said the decision was mutual and aimed to keep Davies fully available and fit for meaningful fixtures later in the year.
- Bombito is sidelined while preparing for another surgery on his left tibia and Crépeau missed the call-up for a personal matter.
- The squad will meet for three 'homecoming' friendlies against Chile, Peru and the United States on Sept. 26, Oct. 3 and Oct. 6 as Canada manages post-World Cup recovery and load for the next competitive windows.
