Osorio and Shaffelburg out of Canada's squad, Bassong, Corbeanu and Brym called in; Davies comes on at Mainz
The first leg is Friday 13 November at 9 p.m. ET (03:00 CET on Saturday) in Guatemala City, the return Monday 16 November at 8 p.m. ET (02:00 CET on Tuesday) at BMO Field. Two MLS players withdrew injured.
Canada have lost two midfielders before the Concacaf Nations League quarter-final against Guatemala and called in three replacements. The Canadian Press reported on Monday that Jonathan Osorio of Toronto FC and Jacob Shaffelburg of LAFC had withdrawn with injuries picked up in the final week of the MLS regular season, and MLS’s own roster note, updated the same day, says Zorhan Bassong of Sporting Kansas City, Theo Corbeanu of Toronto FC and Charles-Andreas Brym of NAC Breda have replaced them. That takes Jesse Marsch’s squad from 23 to 24.
When and where
Canada Soccer’s release has the first leg on Friday 13 November at the Estadio Manuel Felipe Carrera in Guatemala City at 9 p.m. ET (03:00 CET on Saturday 14 November), and the return on Monday 16 November at BMO Field in Toronto at 8 p.m. ET (02:00 CET on Tuesday 17 November). Both legs are on TSN, RDS and OneSoccer, and tickets for the Toronto leg start at $45. “We want to take care of business there, then come home to BMO Field and finish the job in front of our fans,” Marsch said in the release. The Whitecaps’ note on Ralph Priso’s call-up adds what is at stake: the winner over two legs goes to the Nations League finals at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles in March 2027 and qualifies directly for the 2027 Gold Cup, while the loser goes into the Gold Cup preliminaries.
The squad as it stands
With Monday’s changes, the group is: in goal, Maxime Crépeau of Orlando City, Owen Goodman of Dundee, on loan from Crystal Palace, and Dayne St. Clair of Inter Miami; in defence, Richard Chukwu and Richie Laryea of Toronto FC, Alphonso Davies of Bayern Munich, Luc de Fougerolles of Real Salt Lake, on loan from Fulham, Jovan Ivanisevic of FK Sarajevo, Ralph Priso of the Whitecaps, Niko Sigur of Toulouse and Joel Waterman of Portland; in midfield, Tajon Buchanan and Nathan Saliba of Villarreal, Mathieu Choinière of LAFC, Kevin Khan of Feyenoord, Liam Millar of Birmingham, on loan from Hull, and now Bassong and Corbeanu; in attack, Jonathan David of Atlético Madrid, on loan from Juventus, Promise David of Brighton, on loan from Union Saint-Gilloise, Daniel Jebbison of Bournemouth, Tani Oluwaseyi of Villarreal, Jacen Russell-Rowe of Toulouse, and now Brym. The clubs are as Canada Soccer and MLS list them. Where the squad is gathering this week was not stated in any source this site could read on Tuesday morning, and Marsch has not spoken publicly since the squad announcement as far as those sources show.
Davies on at Mainz, Buchanan on the scoresheet
Davies played his first minutes of the window’s build-up on Saturday. Bayern’s match report of the 2-1 win at Mainz says he came on in the 67th minute for Lennart Karl, who had scored Bayern’s second after Joshua Kimmich’s opener, with Mainz pulling one back in stoppage time. Bayern are top of the Bundesliga with 21 points from nine games, level with Dortmund, the report says. Buchanan scored Villarreal’s first in a 2-0 win over Getafe on Sunday, in the 80th minute, as this site reported on Monday from La Liga’s match page, with Oluwaseyi and Saliba also named on that page. Jonathan David was on the bench for Atlético’s 1-2 defeat by Barcelona on Sunday; whether he came on could not be confirmed on Tuesday morning from a source this site is allowed to use.
Whitecaps: two official times, an hour apart
The Whitecaps’ Round One series is set, with one wrinkle. MLS’s schedule release of Sunday 8 November lists the Western Conference Wild Card, Seattle Sounders v Real Salt Lake at Lumen Field, for Thursday 19 November at 10 p.m. ET; the Whitecaps’ Game 1 at BC Place against the winner for Sunday 22 November at 8:30 p.m. ET; Game 2 away for Friday 27 November at 10 p.m. ET; and Game 3, if needed, at BC Place on Wednesday 2 December, time to be confirmed. The Whitecaps’ own page gives Game 1 as 6:30 p.m. Pacific, which is 9:30 p.m. ET, and the Wild Card and Game 2 as 8 p.m. Pacific, which is 11 p.m. ET: one hour later than the league’s listing in every case. MLS’s page says dates and times are subject to change. Until one of the two corrects itself, readers in the east should treat Game 1 as starting at 8:30 or 9:30 p.m. ET on Sunday 22 November (02:30 or 03:30 CET on Monday) and check before kick-off. The club’s page repeats the records of the regular season: 64 points, 19 wins, 74 goals scored and 34 conceded.
CPL final in Calgary
The Canadian Premier League confirmed on Saturday that Cavalry FC, the Shield winners, will host Atlético Ottawa in the final as the higher seed. The league’s earlier notice fixed the date and time: Saturday 21 November at 3 p.m. ET (21:00 CET), 2 p.m. in Alberta, with the league’s awards ceremony in the host city on Thursday 19 November. The nominees are out: Tommy Wheeldon Jr. of Cavalry, Diego Leal and Bobby Smyrniotis for coach of the year, and shortlists for defender of the year, the golden glove, player of the year and the under-21 Canadian award. Ottawa went through on the back of a hat-trick from Fleuriau Chateau in the second leg against Forge after a first-leg draw, and Cavalry lost the first leg at FC Supra du Québec before winning at home, according to the league’s news page.
