  "account": "Canada's men's soccer team will welcome back Captain Alphonso Davies when they face Guatemala in the CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinals. Davies, the 26-year-old Bayern Munich defender, will join the 23-player roster announced by head coach Jesse Marsch on Tuesday. Davies missed the World Cup and the final friendlies before his honeymoon earlier this year. Goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau has also re-joined the squad after skipping the recent friendlies due to his father's death. Canada will be without defender Derek Cornelius from Marseille, who is recovering from a hip injury, right-back Alistair Johnston, who is still battling a hamstring injury, and striker Cyle Larin, who is out due to an undisclosed illness. The first leg of the two-legged series against Guatemala is scheduled for November 13 at Guatemala's home ground, with the return match set for November 16 at Toronto's BMO Field.",
