Alphonso Davies returns to Canada's men's soccer team vs. Guatemala

Captain Alphonso Davies will be back in the fold when Canada's men's soccer team takes on Guatemala in the CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinals this month.

The 26-year-old Bayern Munich defender is one of 23 players on the roster unveiled by head coach Jesse Marsch on Tuesday.

Davies played limited minutes for the national team at this summer's World Cup as he recovered from a hamstring injury, and he missed Canada's three friendlies in late September and early October for his honeymoon.

He's played 13 games for Bayern this season, tallying three goals and three assists. 

Goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau also rejoins the squad after missing the fall friendlies following the death of his father.

Canada will be without Marseille centre back Derek Cornelius, who was taken to hospital after suffering a hip injury while training with Canada in late September, Celtic right-back Alistair Johnston, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury, and Southampton striker Cyle Larin, who is out with an undisclosed ailment.

Canada, currently ranked 27th in the world, will visit No. 95 Guatemala to open the two-legged series on Nov. 13 before hosting the second leg at Toronto's BMO Field on Nov. 16.

“This is an important window for us," Marsch said in a release. "There's a Nations League Finals place and a Gold Cup spot on the line, and we know how tough it will be to go to Guatemala City and get a result. We want to take care of business there, then come home to BMO Field and finish the job in front of  our fans.”
