Portland Timbers defender Kamal Miller could receive an unexpected World Cup opportunity due to an injury to Canadian national team star player Moïse Bombito. Miller had an inconsistent season with the Timbers, putting other guys ahead in the head coach's consideration. Bombito was clearly the starting center-back, and in the last international window, Marsch used the former Inter Miami defender as a substitute, and then as a starter once the Ligue 1 player was injured. Many outlets suggest this move is unlikely to happen. Still, no official confirmation was released about who the replacement is, so Miller still has a shot at playing in the World Cup for Canada. Reports suggest Ralph Priso should land this job, but he is too young, and Miller already has the experience of playing for Marsch. This season, Kamal Miller appeared in 10 games for the Portland Timbers, recording no goals or assists, and received a red card in one match. Right now, the Timbers are 13th in the Western Conference, only six points behind the LA Galaxy for the MLS playoff qualifiers. Although Miller is unlikely to make the roster, he remains an official option and is the only candidate with experience playing for the current CanMNT squad.
