TFC's Laryea, Chukwu earn Canada call ups; injured Osorio left off squad
Richie Laryea has been recalled by Jesse Marsch for the upcoming window that sees Canada play a trio of friendlies.
It'll be a homecoming of sorts for Toronto FC's Richie Laryea when the Canadian men's team plays its first game since this summer's FIFA World Cup later this month.
Coach Jesse Marsch announced his 26-man squad on Tuesday for the September/October international window and included in the roster is the veteran TFC fullback who has a goal and seven assists in 80 appearances for Canada, including starts in all five games at the World Cup. TFC centre back Richard Chukwu was also named to the Canadian team.
Toronto captain Jonathan Osorio (10 goals, eight assists, 92 caps) didn't make the cut as he has been sidelined with a knee injury that has kept him out of the Reds' last seven MLS matches. Also absent from this latest Canadian team are captain Alphonso Davies (who'll be on his honeymoon), goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau (personal reasons).
