Alphonso Davies named captain for Canadian men’s team friendly

Canadian men’s national manager Jesse Marsch has named Alphonso Davies the team’s captain for their friendly against the Netherlands on Thursday.

Davies will play at left back for Canada in a startling lineup that features what appears to be a roster with a full complement of potential starters for the upcoming Copa America.

Longtime Canada captain Atiba Hutchinson retired last year.

The World No. 7 Netherlands are preparing for the upcoming Euro 2024 tournament.
