Canada Soccer revealed its men’s roster for the upcoming pre-World Cup tune-up match against Bahrain, scheduled for November 11th. This match and the mini-camp preceding it were arranged to provide the sizeable MLS player contingent with match action ahead of the tournament, which begins for Les Rouges on November 23rd when they face Belgium in their opening match.
There were no European based players expected to be present for this match as they will not be released until World Cup window officially opens after the weekend of November 12th and 13th. However, Liam Fraser from Belgian second division side KMSK Deinze bucked this trend with a call.
