Orlando City striker and leading goal scorer Cyle Larin has been called up by Canadian Men’s National Team Manager Octavio Zambrano for the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup knockout stage. Larin will report to camp, leaving the Lions prior to the club’s first ever meeting with Atlanta United on Friday. Canada did not call up midfielder Will Johnson, who was also on the team’s preliminary 40-man Gold Cup roster.
Larin, who has five goals in more than 20 international caps with Canada, is Orlando City’s leading scorer since the club joined MLS in 2015, and leads the Lions in goals once again in 2017 with eight through 17 appearances this season.
