De Guzman: Canada cannot be overwhelmed by Mexico at Azteca

The Canadian captain stressed the importance of his team's self-belief as it heads into the famed stadium following a 3-0 loss to Mexico last week.

MEXICO CITY — Canada will be without newcomer Scott Arfield as the team enters into the cauldron that is Estadio Azteca looking to salvage something from its pair of World Cup qualifiers against Mexico on Tuesday night.

Arfield was the notable absence as the team arrived at its hotel on Sunday evening in Mexico’s capital and it was later confirmed that he wasn’t on the plane dealing with a back injury. He had come into the game for the second half in Friday’s 3-0 loss to Mexico and made an instant impact.
