For Canada, the North American team will go on to lose Tajon Buchanan who had a surgery. This means that Jacob Shaffelburg will be slotted in the left wing role. There can also be a tweak in this position with Alphonso Davis taking up a more attacking role from his traditional left back position.
Up front, the duo of Jonathan David and Cyle Larin is expected to continue. The duo will be tasked to continue their good form and grab a couple of goals against Uruguay.

For Marcelo Bielsa’s men, Ronald Araujo is out of the game. Adding more concerns is the injury of Rodrigo Bentancur. The Spurs midfielder suffered a leg injury and was subbed off in the first half in the semi finals against Colombia.
