Trio of uncapped players called to Canada men's soccer team for CONCACAF matches

Canada coach John Herdman has included three uncapped players in his 23-man roster for CONCACAF Nations League matches against Curacao and Honduras later this month.

The three are goalkeeper Tom McGill, defender Dominick Zator and midfielder Victor Loturi.

The 22-year-old McGill, who was born in Belleville, Ont., but grew up in England, plays for Brighton's under-21 side. McGill, who joined Brighton at the age of 14, has represented England at under-17 level.

Zator signed with Korona Kielce in Poland in December, after spending time with York United and Cavalry FC in the Canadian Premier League. The 28-year-old from Calgary was a nominee for the CPL Defender of the Year award in 2019.

Familiar faces in the Canada squad include Atiba Hutchinson, Alphonso Davies, Jonathan David, Cyle Larin, Jonathan Osorio, Stephen Eustaquio, Steven Vitoria and Milan Borjan.

Six members of the Canadian roster ply their trade in MLS, with four from Toronto FC (Ayo Akinola, Mark-Anthony Kaye, Richie Laryea and Osorio) one from CF Montreal (Kamal Miller) and one from Minnesota United (Dayne St. Clair).

Canada, ranked 53rd in the world, plays at No. 86 Curacao on March 25 before hosting No. 81 Honduras on March 28 at Toronto's BMO Field.

Herdman and fullback/wingback Alistair Johnston will have to sit out the Curacao game after being red-carded last June in a chaotic ending to a 2-1 loss in Honduras.

This month's home match against Honduras comes a year and a day after the history-making 4-0 win over Jamaica at the lakefront stadium that sealed World Cup qualification.

Canada, Curacao and Honduras make up Group C, one of four pools in League A. Honduras (2-0-0) tops the group ahead of Canada (1-1-0) and Curacao (1-2-0).
