A member of Canada's 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup squad, Kaye has appeared in five matches for Canada. The 23-year-old started both of LAFC's matches to begin the 2018 MLS season, including the first win in Club history against the Seattle Sounders.
Jakovic has appeared in 40 matches for Canada, scoring one goal. He was a late addition to the LAFC starting lineup in Seattle after Walker Zimmerman had to withdraw with an injury. The defender played the full 90 minutes in the 1-0 victory over the Sounders, as well as LAFC's 5-1 win over Real Salt Lake on Saturday.
