Qatar 2022 It can be remembered as one of the unluckiest World Cups in history. Fifteen days before the ball rolls in the Middle East, other players have joined the list of injured who will not be able to play it: the most recent, the Canadian goalkeeper of Los Angeles F.C., Maxime Crepeauwho had a bittersweet day in the match between his team and the Philadelphia Union by the title of MLS.

The LAFC goalkeeper, teammate of the Mexican Charles Candlesuffered a horrific ankle injury coming out to cut a ball with his feet and colliding with the Philadelphia forward Cory Burke at 109′. The first bad news he received that day was the very possible tibia and fibula fracture he will have to deal with.

As if that weren’t enough, MLS title final referee Ismail Elfath sent him off for making contact with Burke in the fateful game that rules him out of Qatar 2022. Maxime Crepeau was stretched, leaving his team with one less man, but he gave them a gesture of support of the same by showing his left thumb.

The Maple Leaf team received two bad news on this day of November 5: the first came with the muscle injury suffered by his staron the side of Bayern Munich, Alphonse Davieswhich calls into question his participation in the World Cup.

Thus, John Herdman may have to make a double adjustment in his list of convened for Qatar 2022, with the dramatic injury of Maxime Crepeau which takes him away from the great fair of football and also with the latent risk of missing Davies for the feedback. of Canada at the World Cups after a 36-year absence.

The 28-year-old Los Angeles FC goalkeeper, new MLS champion, made his senior debut for Canada in 2016 after being called up by Spain’s Benito Floro. Since then, he has made 15 appearances for his country.

He is a regular on John Herdman’s calls; however, he was unable to take the title away from the veteran milan borjan Red Star Belgrade. His most recent duel with Canada was on March 31 in the closing round of the Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifier against Panama.
