Creates pair of chances
Laryea registered one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Friday's 1-1 draw versus Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Analysis: Laryea created a pair of chances during Friday's draw, showing his creativity even from full-back. He didn't get on the scoresheet but he likes to get forward even against defensive teams and can join the attack frequently. The question now will be if Canada can get a consistent attacking threat going in the coming matches, if so, Laryea could have some solid upside from the defense.
Fit for full training
Laryea (thigh) is considered "ready for full training" by the Canadian squad's manager Jesse Marsch ahead of the World Cup opener on June 12, Ben Steiner of Sports Illustrated reports.
Analysis: Laryea is hopeful to return to action at the international level after being inactive for a month due to a thigh issue. The full-back might even get a golden opportunity to feature in the potential absence of Alphonso Davies (hamstring), who would typically be ahead of him in the competition for the left-back role. Laryea had a decent start to the year in MLS with Toronto, recording two goals and one assist in nine games played.
