Called up by CANMNT
Nelson has been called up to Canada's World Cup squad as a replacement for Marcelo Flores, the federation announced.
Analysis: Nelson's inclusion is a reward for a strong start of the MLS season with Austin FC as he scored two goals in 10 appearances for the Verdes. Nelson gives coach Jesse Marsch an additional wide attacking option heading into the tournament. The winger will now join the Canadian squad ahead of their World Cup opener against Bosnia and Herzegovina on June 12.
On bench against SKC
Nelson (lower body) is on the bench for Saturday's game versus Sporting Kansas City.
Analysis: Nelson missed three MLS contests before completing his rehabilitation from an injury he suffered on May 3. He'll likely return to action as a substitute and will then remain in contention with Owen Wolff and Jon Gallagher. In that case, Nelson should have decent chances to increase his count of two goals, which currently ranks third on the squad.
