Atiba Hutchinson most notable absence from Canadian roster for World Cup warmups
Canada will be without talismanic captain Atiba Hutchinson for World Cup warm-ups later this month against Qatar and Uruguay.
A bone bruise has sidelined the 39-year-old Besiktas midfielder, Canada's all-time men's cap leader with 97. Canada coach John Herdman says his medical staff will be flying out to see Hutchinson after the two friendlies to check on his injury comeback with the hope that he will be ready by the end of October.
Toronto FC defender Doneil Henry (lower body) and midfielder David Wotherspoon (knee) of Scotland's St. Johnstone FC are also hurt.
CF Montreal defender Joel Waterman and Blackpool FC forward Theo Corbeanu get their first senior call-ups. Teenage winger Luca Koleosho of RCD Espanyol de Barcelona is the youngest player in the squad at 18. He got his first Canadian senior call-up in June but has yet to see action.
