Ali Ahmed

Analysis: Ahmed's return to full training is a timely development after being left out of Friday's friendly against Ireland as the coaching staff managed his recovery carefully. The left-back's availability for Canada's World Cup opener against Bosnia and Herzegovina on June 12 now looks considerably more positive, with his return to the main group session suggesting he is on track to be considered for selection. Liam Millar had been in line to start on the left flank should Ahmed be unable to prove his fitness in time.

Ahmed (hamstring) is back in modified training with Team Canada, according to Joshua Kloke of The Athletic.

Analysis: Ahmed is seeing more improvements this week, as the attacker was able to be involved in some modified training with other injured players. This continues his recovery as he looks to be fit for the World Cup. Canada does have a few friendlies ahead, with Ahmed looking to be fit by their friendly on June 5 against Ireland.
