Floro facing selection headaches with busy Canadian summer ahead

With World Cup qualifying, the Gold Cup and the Pan American Games, Canada's squad depth will be tested this summer.

TORONTO — With a busy summer ahead for Canada's men's national team, head coach Benito Floro could be facing some major player selection headaches.

World Cup qualifying starts in June for the Canadians, headlining a hectic period that also includes the biennial CONCACAF Gold Cup and the Pan American Games soccer tournament.

Given that Floro's player pool isn't very large to begin with, the prospect of three major competitions within a matter of weeks is a daunting one for the Spaniard and his coaching staff.
