Moise Bombito is back in training with Nice.

The Canada centre-back has been out of action since breaking his leg in a 2-2 draw with Monaco on Oct. 5.

“It’s nice [to be back],” Bombito told the club’s social media accounts. “It’s a very good feeling, the feeling that I’m making progress in our journey. I know that I’m not far away. I have to continue, day after day as usual. We’ll see each other very soon.”

TSN’s Matt Scianitti notes that Canada sent a physiotherapist to France last month to aid in Bombito’s recovery.

A native of Montreal, the 26-year-old Bombito is in his second season in Ligue 1 following a move from Colorado Rapids with whom he was an MLS All-Star in 2024.

Capped 19 times by Canada, Bombito hasn’t suited up for the national team since an Oct. 15, 2024 friendly victory over Panama in Toronto.

Canada opens its 2026 FIFA World Cup on Jun. 12 at BMO Field against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Group B action. Jesse Marsch’s side will then relocate to Vancouver for the remainder of its group-stage play against Qatar and Switzerland.
