Moise Bombito
26-Year-Old
Nice
Ligue 1
Cleared for Qatar match
Bombito (leg) is an option for Thursday's match against Qatar, according to manager Jesse Marsch, per Matthew Scianitti of TSN.
ANALYSIS
Bombito has recovered from his leg injury, as he still awaits his return to play, having gone unused in the opener. That said, he now appears primed to make his return come Thursday when facing Qatar, a major bright spot for Canada as the tournament progresses. The uncertainty comes in how much time he will receive, if any at all, after missing the opener, as they are likely to be cautious. A bench role would likely suit him well for a return to play, hopefully, actually seeing the field this time.

Remains on modified training
Bombito (leg) continues on a modified training program with Canada's World Cup squad, according to manager Jesse Marsch, per Joshua Kloke of TheAthletic. "Moise, we're just going to go day by day. I thought he looked really good today, so that was a positive development for him. I think he still looked good today. Obviously, there's going to be a decision made on him in the next couple of days. But I hope he recovers well and very fast in the next three to four days. He's obviously a very important piece of the team, and we would love to add him."
