The Canadian Soccer Association announced today that defender Nana Attakora of Major League Soccer's San Jose Earthquakes has been added to Canada's roster for the upcoming pair of World Cup Qualifiers against St. Kitts & Nevis.
Attakora replaces 19-year-old Matt Stinson, the Toronto FC rookie who was set to make his first appearance with the full national team. Stinson was removed from the Canadian squad due to injury.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
If Attakora takes part in either match (Nov. 11 in Basseterre and Nov. 15 in Toronto), it will be his first action for the senior national side since appearing in a 1-0 friendly loss at Jamaica on January 31, 2010. That match was also his first cap at the senior level.
