Team news: Canada vs Martinique

Canada: Young star Alfonso Davies will be one to keep all eyes on. Now at Bayern Munich, the 18-year-old is featuring at his second Gold Cup, and having had a breakout performance two years ago at the tender age of 16 - making history in the process - he'll be hoping to add more to his three goals scored so far for the senior side.

Martinique: Coach Mario Bocaly has not had to sub anyone out from his original 23-man squad due to injury, so he will be able to field his strongest starting XI for this game.
