Christine Sinclair optimistic on labour front
Canada’s final roster for the Women’s World Cup is set and it appears some form of labour agreement may also get done ahead of the tournament.
Because of the health question-marks, Priestman waited until virtually the last minute to announce her squad, just ahead of FIFA’s Monday deadline. The 35-year-old Scott, a veteran of the 2011, 2015 and 2109 World Cups, did not make the roster. The hard-nosed defensive midfielder whose nickname is The Destroyer, has won 186 caps for Canada and captains the NWSL’s Kansas City Current.
Defender Jade Rose, a rising star at just 20, was forced to withdraw from the pretournament camp due to injury. Forward Deanne Rose makes the final roster despite a lengthy absence due to an Achilles injury, but saw brief action with Reading at the end of the English club season. Sinclair will be taking part in her sixth World Cup, having made her debut at the soccer showcase in 2003. She has also played at four Olympics and two Pan American Games.
