Report: Canada's Ismael Kone (fever) misses training session

Canada midfielder Ismael Kone did not train with the team on Wednesday due to a fever, TSN reported.

Kone, 23, was wearing full gear before getting into a car and leaving practice on Wednesday, two days before the club is set to play its opening match of the World Cup.

Star defenders Moise Bombito (leg) and Alphonso Davies (hamstring) participated in the light training session.

The Canadians have until 3 p.m. ET on Thursday to adjust their roster.

They will compete in Group B and play their World Cup opener against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Toronto on Friday. They also will meet Qatar on June 18 and Switzerland on June 24, with both matches in Vancouver.

Canada's World Cup expectations were heightened by a fourth-place finish in the 2024 Copa America, the best performance of the six CONCACAF guest sides.
