Doneil Henry will travel to Qatar but will not play after suffering a calf injury prior to Friday’s 2-2 tie with Bahrain. The fact that Henry was to captain Canada in the game demonstrated his importance to the team.
Coach John Herdman on Doneil Henry’s injury said “He tried to push it a little bit further and it sort of led to maybe a tear in there,” Herdman told reporters from Doha. “We’re just working through the MRIs and getting all the final details. But he just wasn’t able to create any explosivity out of the calf.”
Scott Kennedy (SSV Jahn Regensburg, Germany) and Maxime Crepeau (Los Angeles FC, MLS) were both ruled out earlier this month due to injuries, with Kennedy suffering from a shoulder injury and Crepeau requiring surgery to repair a leg broken in the MLS Cup final.
