Uzbekistan vs. Canada: Floro eyes key stop off for road to Russia

Tuesday's friendly match with Uzbekistan concludes Canada's 10-day trip to Austria and coach Benito Floro is eyeing a World Cup place.

Canada coach Benito Floro wants his players to show they are ready for the rigors of 2018 World Cup qualifiers when they take on Uzbekistan in Bad Waltersdorf.

Tuesday's match concludes a 10-day trip to Austria and comes four days after Friday's 1-1 draw with Azerbaijan.

Floro's men will have to tackle a similarly quick turnaround when the CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers resume in September, traveling to Honduras before hosting El Salvador.

The former clash is already at the forefront of the former Real Madrid boss' mind.
