Lost in the excitement of Alphonso Davies being granted citizenship and committing to Canada’s men’s national team was the announcement of Lucas Cavallini returning to Octavio Zambrano’s set-up.
The Davies news is definitely the most significant to come out of the provisional squad announcement, and has rightfully garnered the most excitement. However, the Cavallini comeback is notable in its own right. His rejoining of the national team, which began with a 2015 call-up for a friendly against Ghana after a three year hiatus, could be a potential boon for a side that has had serious difficulties scoring.
