Atiba Hutchinson returned to action yesterday, playing the final 21 minutes of PSV Eindhoven's 3-0 win over ADO Den Haag.
The Canadian international last played in Canada's first Gold Cup game against the United States. He sustained an injury in that game that took him out of the rest of the tournament, although it was suggested at the time that PSV were pressuring Canada not to play him.
His return yesterday went without incident.
Canada will announce its World Cup qualifying roster for the Sept 2-6 CONCACAF second round games this week. Stephen Hart will be under pressure to bypass Hutchinson due to the low quality of opposition. The thinking being that re-establishing himself in Holland is more important than having him on the pitch against teams made up of semi-pro quality players.
