Alphonso Davies joins Canada for USA Match

Alphonso Davies has been called up to the Canada squad for the upcoming international break. The Canadians only have one match on the docket — the United States. It’s the first match between the two nations in Group A of the CONCACAF Nations League A Group A.

The Canadians lead the group after two wins against Cuba (the other team in the three-team group), but the United States has yet to play a game yet. This is a big match for Canada, and BMO Field in Toronto will be rocking.

Despite Davies’s attacking prowess, Canada seems comfortable playing him basically anywhere, but he’s been deployed as a fullback more often than he should be.
