Canada has recalled Orlando City star
Cyle Larin for the knockout stage of the Gold Cup, where it will play for the first time since 2009. He had been excluded from the initial roster following
his arrest on a a misdemeanor DUI charge in Florida.
Less than two weeks after his DUI arrest and suspension, Larin was cleared to return to action. He continued to be counseled by
doctors in MLS's Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health Program.
Larin missed three MLS games -- a 3-3 tie with Montreal and 1-1 tie with Seattle and 4-0 loss at Chicago.
Coach
Octavio Zambrano's team for the quarterfinals includes nine MLS players, three players each from Montreal (
Maxime Crepeau,
Anthony Jackson-Hamel and
Patrice Bernier)
and Vancouver (
Russell Teibert,
Alphonso Davies and
Marcel de Jong), two from Toronto FC (
Tosaint Ricketts and
Jonathan Osorio), plus Larin.
Raheem Edwards
returned to TFC.
The 16-year-old Davies, the youngest player Canada has ever called up for the Gold Cup, had scored three of its five goals.
I am glad they put him back on the roster.Everyone has made poor choices in there lives. He is young and can learn from past mistakes. I hope he helps Canada.
Go Maple Leafs. Or west coast Canucks.
