Canada host Iceland at BMO Field on Saturday for their first friendly of the March international break.

Jesse Marsch's CanMNT will face the Europeans before a game with Haiti next week as they ramp up preparations for this summer's home World Cup.

Time is running out for fringe players to stake a claim for the final tournament roster, and with a handful of stars including Alphonso Davies missing this month's camp due to injury, today could offer a chance to some of those back-ups to impress.
