Never before has a Canadian men’s national team roster looked this strong. John Herdman’s group for the upcoming Concacaf Nations League qualifier against Dominica on Oct. 16 at BMO Field includes players affiliated with Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Liverpool, Juventus, Besiktas and Rangers.
All of this leaves Herdman with the “good problem to have” scenario of trying to pick only eleven of these players. Picking attackers promises to be particularly tricky for what will be his first home match in charge of the Canadian men’s national team.
Herdman, however, certainly isn’t bemoaning this newfound depth. On a media call this morning, he outlined how excited he is with the many different profiles of players he has available at his disposal.
