Canada faces injury uncertainty over defender Moise Bombito before World Cup opener

Canada’s men’s soccer team is dealing with fresh injury concerns as defender Moise Bombito remains a gametime decision ahead of Friday’s World Cup opener against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Toronto. Head coach Jesse Marsch said Bombito is being assessed day by day after the center back appeared limited in training on Monday. Bombito, who broke his leg in club play last October, has been working back into form but did not look fully comfortable in recent sessions. The team also has another possible roster issue, as training player Ralph Priso is recovering from a muscle strain. Canada must finalize any injury replacement up to 24 hours before kickoff, leaving the coaching staff little time to decide whether Bombito can be available.
