Disaster strikes for Canada! Superstar Alphonso Davies is officially sidelined for the 2026 World Cup opener. Medical reports confirm he won’t be match-fit, forcing coach Jesse Marsch to abandon his high-octane, wing-back-heavy tactics. Expect a shift toward a rigid, compact defensive formation. Sam Adekugbe steps into the spotlight as Canada fights to maintain stability without their elite defensive engine on the pitch.
