Vancouver defender Shannon Woeller earns Canada callback for Costa Rica games
TORONTO — Vancouver defender Shannon Woeller, summoned by coach John Herdman as an injury replacement in April, has earned a callback for Canada’s games against Costa Rica in Winnipeg and Toronto.
The fifth-ranked Canadians play No. 30 Costa Rica at Investors Group Field on June 8 and Toronto’s BMO Field on June 11.
Woeller is part of a 19-woman roster that closely resembles the group Herdman took to Europe in April when Canada defeated No. 6 Sweden 1-0 and lost 2-1 to top-ranked Germany.
Teenagers Gabrielle Carle, Marie Levasseur, Sarah Stratigakis and Hannah Taylor were in the European squad but are not included for these home matches. Herdman says they will be busy with youth international competition.
