I believe that I read somewhere further up the thread that at least one player is barred from entering the US, so couldn't fly with the main group on the flight that went via a US airport.

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) The ref: https://worldreferee.com/referee/ricardo_montero_araya/ He was our ref for our 2017 Gold Cup match against Jamaica and our 2017 friendly at BMO Field against Jamaica. --- This match will be tough and a draw is actually fairly likely. El Salvador has gotten more depth over the past year and we can't expect Johnston &/or Laryea &/or Eustáquio to play 90 minutes. If Henry is injured we need to bring in Waterman and we need to bring in ZBG as another option too. --- 12 minutes ago, SthMelbRed said: I believe that I read somewhere further up the thread that at least one player is barred from entering the US, so couldn't fly with the main group on the flight that went via a US airport.

Floortom Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 If Phonzie’s injury was at all serious he would have returned to Germany right away. He might not be playing on Wednesday but I’m not concerned yet… canuckgbp, dyslexic nam and johnyb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free kick Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) 14 hours ago, dyslexic nam said: Of all the guys who missed out, ZBG is one that I feel bad for. He looks really good for Montreal and he has been consistently solid for them since last season. It know it is just due to the talent we have on the right side with Johnston, Laryea, and Buchanan, but I am still hoping that Brault Guillard gets a chance to strut his stuff during this process. I definitely think he is at that level. I agree. I liked his game from what I saw last year. The one thing though, was his play at the Olympic tourney. He wasn’t poor but he didn’t stand out. I was actually thinking he would distinguish himself given that going in, he was of similar pedigree to TB. TB really distinguished himself and earned future call ups to the national team. ZBG did not and I can’t argue too much that decision . Edited September 7, 2021 by Free kick Floortom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The German media is reporting he underwent an MRI so I think they would have said he has returned to Germany. Canada returned to Toronto at 1pm today so if Davies didn’t join and was instead on a flight to Germany I think that we would have heard by now.

canuckgbp Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) Since it is not a specific diagnosis does that rule out all of the major obvious stuff? He went back on the field for about 5 minutes but that doesn’t really tell us much. Idk how much to read into him getting a scan because with Bayern they probably don’t leave much choice in the matter. Hopefully we see him at practice tomorrow.

canuckgbp Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 One major plus is Tajon is fresh. He burned the Americans a few times. This El Salvador team hasn’t rotated at all so should be a good matchup for him. You know he wants to put in a better showing then the Honduras game.

zeelaw Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Gotta be Tajon and David getting us the three points Wednesday. Really interesting to see how Herdman has to manage the squad in a three-game Int'l break these days.

I am really looking forward to seeing what Tajon in action out of the gate. He is a really exciting young player. I do hope John has learned from these first few games on how to manage these 3 game windows? They certainly present some challenges that you did not face in previous cycles. apbsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corazon Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Just for a couple updates I received about the El Salvador team. ES were to train at a local club in Cambridge tonight and tomorrow. 2 players tested positive for Covid so the team was unable to attend training at the club tonight. Not sure if that means that they didn't get a session in tonight or not but they are scheduled to train there again tomorrow. Apparently a couple players vaccines weren't recognized by Canada. Unsure of the players and what that means for their eligibility. Zavaleta is fit to play tomorrow. Apparently he was removed from the game vs Honduras due to a migraine.

They only brought 20 players according to their twitter post. Hopefully it hasn't spread further. I assume some players got the Russian or Chinese vaccine?

I can't confirm the hotel they are staying at but I can confirm the training in Cambridge is legit. Like I said, they were not able to train at the club tonight as planned due to some Covid issues but I was advised a representative from the ES team facetimed the club in Cambridge to confirm cancellation of tonight's training. And apparently all 100% good to train tomorrow at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 23 hours ago, Cheeta said: I'll be surprised if we don't coast to 3 points Wednesday. Coast. They're going to be on 2 points in the 1st window and maybe not out, but outside struggling to get in. Or we'll get CONCACRAPed. Whichever. I wish I had your confidence. I think this could be a very tough match. El Salvador have drawn Honduras and USA, just like us. I think that means we can't assume we will coast to a win. Sure, maybe we manage to crack them open and get a multi goal win, but a draw or a loss is also pretty possible.
