Jesse Marsch Admits ‘Mistake’ in Canada vs. Mexico Battle for Ex-Arsenal Talent

Marsch says it was a mistake to call Marcelo Flores into Canada's January camp because he cannot play unless the game is closed-door.
Marsch insists Flores could still have a bright future with Canada, maintaining the long-term potential despite the January setback.
Flores has been courted by Canada, Mexico and England, with his future tied to his international allegiance decisions.
Flores joined Canada’s November camp as a training player but did not join the January camp roster in an official capacity.
Marsch explains the decision was made as he wanted Flores to have the best path for his career and national team decision.
The January camp situation keeps Flores’s international future open as Canada and Mexico consider calls ahead of World Cup cycles.
Flores’s potential switch remains a topic as he has played for Mexico at youth and senior levels, complicating his allegiance.
Marsch notes Flores’s Canadian roots and his familiarity with Canadian teammates as a factor in potential future call-ups.
Machinery of timeline: Flores’s brace for Tigres followed by the January club commitments affected the camp plans.
Marsch emphasizes supporting Flores in choosing the best path for his career and future international opportunities.
