Canada's first training session Monday at a pre-World Cup training camp in Bahrain was overshadowed with the panful news that goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau was back in the U.S., recovering from surgery to repair a broken leg.
Canada s roster remains a work in progress, with head coach John Herdman calling in 20 MLS players and midfielder Liam Fraser, who plays in Belgium for KMSK Deinze, for a camp and international friendly in Bahrain to get some work in before assembling his full squad ahead of the World Cup.
While out-of-season MLS players like Jonathan Osorio head to a camp in Bahrain to press for a place with Canada in Qatar, the World Cup dream is over for defender Scott Kennedy.
