Canada captain Alphonso Davies has been included in Jesse Marsch's 26-man squad for the World Cup, even as a hamstring injury raises doubts over his availability for the tournament's opening match.

The Bayern Munich winger is one of the most recognisable names in Marsch's selection, and his presence — even at less than full fitness — underlines how central he is to Canada's hopes on the global stage.

No timeline has been confirmed for Davies' return to full fitness, leaving his participation in the early stages of the competition uncertain.
