Jesse Marsch says Moïse Bombito had surgery this morning, and it went well.

"I was texting with him this afternoon...he's feeling really positive and good. When I was texting a little bit, it seemed like maybe he was on some drugs, but he seems like he's feeling good."

Jesse Marsch confirms that Maxime Crépeau will start vs Australia in Montreal and Dayne St. Clair will start against Colombia in New Jersey.

"I lose sleep at night about telling one of them that they're not going to be the goalkeeper for the World Cup."

NEW: Returning to Québec is a homecoming for Maxime Crepéau, who said it was "weird" to speak French again after so much English.

The #CanMNT are facing stiff internal competition this window and play Australia tomorrow.

Canada Soccer announces a roster change for the matches vs. Australia and Colombia.

Toronto FC's Luka Gavran called in to replace Portland's James Pantemis as the third goalkeeper.

Pantemis suffered a potential concussion playing for the Timbers.

Gavran is already in MTL.

NEW: With Moïse Bombito out again so soon after returning from injury, it’s becoming clear that the 2026 World Cup might not see the #CanMNT at 100%.

It’s forced Marsch adapt — and Canada to develop depth faster.

Incredible stuff.
