Injuries enforce Belgium, Canada to make changes

Wednesday, 05 December 2018 | PTI | Bhubaneswar

 Olympic Silver medallist Belgium and Canada were on Tuesday forced to make a change each in their squads due to injuries at the ongoing men's hockey World Cup here.

Belgium's Emmanuel Stockbroek has been withdrawn from the squad due to a hamstring injury sustained in his side's 2-2 draw against India on Sunday. He will be replaced by Antoine Kina, a 22-year-old with 29 caps to his name.

Canada too were forced to make a change after Brandon Pereira was withdrawn because of an injury. Forward Floris van Son will replace Pereira in the 18-member squad.

The replacements were made after both Belgium and Canada sought approval from the International Hockey Federation (FIH).

Both the players will be involved in their team's final Pool C matches on Saturday. While Belgium will take on South Africa, Canada will play hosts India.
