Adalberto Carrasquilla, 27-year-old Panamanian midfielder and member of Mexican club Pumas, has been named CONCACAF Player of the Year for 2024, beating American Christian Pulisic and Canadian Alphonso Davies. Carrasquilla, who plays a role similar to Croatia's Luka Modric in distributing the ball, expressed excitement about facing Modric in their World Cup group stage match in Toronto. The match between Panama and Croatia comes after both teams lost their opening matches against Ghana and England, respectively, leaving them at the bottom of Group L with no points. Carrasquilla, however, is uncertain if he will play due to a muscle injury sustained during Mexico's league final on May 24. His potential absence could impact Panama's chances against a stronger opponent.
