Canadian national team defender Bombito set for second surgery on left tibia
Nice said scans showed chronic left tibia pain, and Moise Bombito will have surgery after playing through the injury at the World Cup.
- On Aug. 26, Nice announced that Canadian national team defender Moise Bombito will undergo surgery on his left tibia after a scan confirmed the Montreal native was dealing with chronic pain.
- Bombito initially fractured his tibia on Oct. 5 but returned to compete for Canada at the FIFA World Cup, later describing his heart going "against my body" to play on home soil.
- The 26-year-old played in three of Canada's five World Cup games, including a full 90 minutes during the round-of-16 win over South Africa, while "struggling quite a bit."
- "It's a tough blow," Bombito said, explaining he delayed surgery until Aug. hoping to finally "play at 100 per cent" after struggling with constant pain.
- Bombito joined Nice in 2024 after playing with Major League Soccer's Colorado Rapids; after appearing in 35 games during his first French season, the defender now targets full recovery.
