Jessie Fleming is set to make her 100th appearance for Canada while Kailen Sheridan gets the call in net following the retirement of Stephanie Labbé. JohnMolinaro highlights the players to watch during Sunday's friendly against South Korea.
Next month’s Concacaf W Championship in Mexico serves as the qualifiers for the 2023 FIFA World Cup with four berths at stake. Canada will be competing in a group alongside Trinidad & Tobago, Panama and Costa Rica, and must finish in the top two in order to advance to the semifinals and punch its ticket to the World Cup.
Fleming, a 24-year-old from London, Ont., is fresh off a spectacular campaign at Chelsea in which she won her second English league championship and FA Cup in just her second season as a professional. “I think going into this tournament, that No. 1 would sit with Kailen, but at the same time, every player has to earn the right to start. I don’t want to shut the door on anyone pushing Kailen, but Kailen has had an incredible season and has been very consistent in our environment.”
“For me, if you look at the last international window, that window told everyone that this team needs Christine Sinclair,” Priestman said. “She comes on as a [substitute], it was the first time as a [substitute] for me, and you wonder how she will react to that role? It took her three minutes and she goes and scores.” What a year it’s been for midfielder Julia Grosso.
