Moïse Bombito’s recovery from a broken tibia is progressing positively and his return to play timeline is now late February, TSN has learned.

Bombito broke his tibia earlier this month in a French league game and had surgery to insert a rod to stabilize his leg. Bombito is now walking with crutches, but without a walking boot.

The encouraging Bombito news comes after a week when a couple members of the Canadian men’s national team were hit by concerning hamstring injuries.

On Thursday, Alistair Johnston appeared to reinjure his hamstring after being out weeks earlier, and a day later Liam Millar also appeared to injure his hamstring just weeks after returning from an 11 month absence due to an ACL injury.

There is no timeline yet for either player’s injury.
