Canada changes squad ahead of World Cup, Nelson to replace Flores

Jayden Nelson will replace injured Marcel Flores in the Canadian national football team squad for the upcoming World Cup. Canada made the change shortly before the start of the tournament, in which it will begin its campaign on Friday, June 12, on home soil in Toronto against Bosnia and Herzegovina. sport.sk ↗

Flores lost his chance to appear at the home World Cup due to injury. The midfielder of the Mexican club Tigres UANL was injured in the CONCACAF Champions League final. His spot in the squad was taken by Nelson, who will thus join the Canadian squad ahead of the opening group-stage match. teraz.sk ↗

The change in the squad comes at a time when several teams are dealing with players' health problems before the start of the World Cup. However, Canada already has a replacement for Flores and can continue preparing for the tournament's first match. teraz.sk ↗

For the Canadian team, the match against Bosnia and Herzegovina will mark its entry into the championship in front of home fans. Nelson's additional call-up also closes the question of who would replace Flores, whose dream of taking part in the home World Cup was dashed by injury. sport.sk ↗
