In addition to a Bayern and Juve star, ex-Basel player Millar is also in the squad

The best-known names in national coach Jesse March's squad are full-back Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich and striker Jonathan David from Juventus Turin. Also in the squad is former Basel player Liam Millar from Premier League promotion contenders Hull City. Like half the team, the trio were already part of Canada's World Cup squad four years ago in Qatar.

Davies, who is set to be captain, is currently recovering from a thigh injury and is expected to join the co-hosts' team on Monday. The 25-year-old will not be available for the test match against Uzbekistan in Edmonton. Marsch even assumes that Davies will also miss the first World Cup match against Bosnia-Herzegovina on Friday, June 12. Canada's other preliminary round games are against Qatar on June 18 and Switzerland on June 24 in Vancouver.
