Canadian national team players were in action for their clubs across Europe from November 3 to 10, with several making notable contributions. The squad's next international fixture is a trip to face Guatemala on Saturday 14 November, following a run of two wins and one loss in their last three outings. That recent form, which includes a 1-0 loss to the United States on Wednesday 7 October and a 2-0 win over Peru on Saturday 3 October, will be tested in that away qualifier.
Jonathan David made two substitute appearances for Atletico Madrid during the week. The forward entered in the 75th minute of a 2-0 Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich on Tuesday, and came on again in the 78th minute of a 2-1 La Liga loss to Barcelona on Sunday.
Alphonso Davies was involved in both of Bayern Munich's victories. The left-back started and played 79 minutes of the 2-0 Champions League win over Atletico Madrid. He then came off the bench in the 67th minute of a 2-1 Bundesliga victory against Mainz on Saturday.
In Spain, Tajon Buchanan had a productive week with Villarreal. He played the full 90 minutes in a 6-0 Champions League loss to Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday. The winger then started and scored a goal in a 2-0 league win over Getafe on Sunday, completing another full match. His Villarreal teammate, Tanitoluwa Oluwaseyi, featured as a substitute in both of those games, while Nathan-Dylan Saliba made a late appearance off the bench in the Getafe victory.
Liam Millar helped Birmingham City to two Championship wins. He started and was substituted in the 73rd minute of a 3-0 victory over Millwall on Tuesday, and then started again before being taken off in the 58th minute of a 2-1 win against Swansea City on Saturday.
Elsewhere in Europe, Niko Sigur played the entire match for Toulouse in a 3-1 Ligue 1 win over Strasbourg on Friday, receiving a yellow card.
This club form comes as Canada prepares for its next World Cup qualifying test. The team's most recent result was a 1-0 defeat to the United States on Wednesday 7 October, preceded by a 2-0 win over Peru on Saturday 3 October where Jonathan Shaffelburg scored both goals, his first coming in the 19th minute.
