Team news & squads

Canada team news

The hosts have been hit with a major setback. Defender Moise Bombito suffered a fractured left tibia last Sunday, sidelining him for several months. The 25-year-old was expected to feature in both October friendlies, his first since March, but the injury will now also rule him out of Canada's November fixtures against Ecuador and Venezuela.

Head coach Jesse Marsch will also be without key starters Alphonso Davies and Alistair Johnston, both nursing injuries. With Derek Cornelius firmly cementing his place at centre-back, this window could be the perfect opportunity for Luc de Fougerolles to gain valuable experience alongside the Marseille defender.

Marsch's 24-man squad features a strong domestic flavour, with 12 MLS players earning call-ups. Among them are goalkeepers Dayne St. Clair (Minnesota United FC) and Maxime Crepeau (Portland Timbers), who continue to duel for the starting job between the posts. Meanwhile, Ali Ahmed and Jayden Nelson arrive in camp on a high after helping Vancouver Whitecaps FC to a fourth consecutive Canadian Championship title, while Jacob Shaffelburg also enjoyed silverware, lifting the US Open Cup with Nashville SC—the club's first-ever trophy.

Australia team news

For Australia, there's been a late change, with Fran Karacic forced to withdraw for medical reasons. His place goes to uncapped Jacob Italiano, who plies his trade in Austria. Veteran shot-stopper Mat Ryan returns after missing the New Zealand friendlies, but Mo Toure, Jackson Irvine, and Harry Souttar remain doubtful. Souttar is still recovering from injury, while Toure picked up a shoulder issue in his last club outing. 

Still, Tony Popovic remains optimistic, noting that Toure has already confirmed he'll be fit to train sooner rather than later.
