'I think when the big games come, I think Scott (Arfield) will be available.” Coach John Herdman is confident that Arfield could join the Canadian men’s national team for its marquee games this year. (via GalindoPW)

The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically affected sports, which could have lasting ramifications for years to come.

Luckily for coach John Herdman, there is a camp underway in Florida where several young players are trying to impress the coaching staff. Even though there's only been an intra-squad match, which was played on Sunday night, there are a couple players who stood out in that game.Sportsnet's A Kick in the Grass

Herdman said that he'd spoken to Akinola since July and had discussed this camp as a prime opportunity to essentially show the young striker why he should represent Canada. Unfortunately for the national team, it's unknown when the TFC man could be called into a squad while avoiding being cap-tied in 2021.

But a tactical tweak isn't the only reason why Larin is thriving, according to his national team coach. Another player who was also in a rich vein of form was Scott Arfield at Rangers prior to his injury. However, Rangers coach Steven Gerrard curiously raised some eyebrows in Canada after claiming that the Canadian captain"doesn't go on international duty anymore."those comments from his club manager saying that decision is up to Herdman and that they've chatted"on numerous occasions" since Arfield's last call-up in November 2019.
