New Canadian men’s soccer coach Marsch calls on familiar names in 1st team selection – MASHAHER


Jesse Marsch’s first Canada selection for high-profile June friendlies against the Netherlands and France shows while you can change the coach, the talent at your disposal remains the same.

Marsch’s 26-man roster contains 20 of the 23 players called up by interim coach Mauro Biello for Canada’s last outing — a 2-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago in a Copa America playoff March 23 in Frisco, Texas.

The three players who have not carried over to Marsch’s squad are 22-year-old goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois and 28-year-old defender Joel Waterman (both of CF Montreal) and 21-year-old forward Jacen Russell-Rowe (Columbus Crew).

The additions are goalkeeper Thomas McGill, defenders Kyle Hiebert, Richie Laryea and Dominick Zator and midfielders Charles-Andreas Brym and Junior Hoilett.

Laryea, a 48-cap veteran who missed the March game after undergoing hamstring surgery, is expected to return to action this week with Toronto FC. The 33-year-old Hoilett, who played most recently for Scotland’s Aberdeen, has already won 62 caps for Canada and captained the side.

Other familiar names include Tajon Buchanan, Jonathan David, Alphonso Davies, Stephen Eustaquio, Alistair Johnston, Jonathan Osorio and Samuel Piette, among others.
