Canada fields strong squad for Austria camp

Minus Atiba Hutchinson, the Reds will be able to count on a full strength roster for their friendly matches in June.

In preparation for FIFA World Cup Qualifying in September, Canada coach Benito Floro has summoned a strong squad for the team’s upcoming friendlies next week in Austria.

Canada will play Azerbaijan in Rohrbach an der Lafnitz on June 3 and Uzbekistan in Bad Waltersford on June 7.

"We consider both matches will provide us with a very good test," Floro said in a statement Friday. "The European camp is important because it gives us time to practice and create new structures for our team and their communication.
