Henry hungry to don Maple Leaf again after long road back to fitness

VANCOUVER, BC – It’s been nearly two years since Doneil Henry last pulled on the Canada national team jersey, but the wait appears to be finally over.

The 25-year-old centre back is one of four Vancouver Whitecaps FC players who have been called up to Canada for Sunday’s Concacaf Nations League qualifying match vs. US Virgin Islands (watch live at 1 p.m. PT on Concacaf.com).

“It’s been a long time,” Henry said. “From being in a negative place, being annoyed with my injury, to finally getting playing time here at my club and being recognized by the national team, it’s exciting.
