Canada forward Promise David's MRI on his surgically repaired hip revealed no setbacks as the forward continues his remarkable push to get healthy in time for the FIFA World Cup, multiple sources confirm to TSN.
Since rupturing a hip tendon back in February while playing for his club Union Saint-Gilloise, the 24-year-old has followed an accelerated timeline for an injury that typically carries a three-to-six-month recovery period.
Medical Staff Taking Cautious Approach
Sources say David's MRI results are only a part of his ongoing medical evaluation as both the Canadian national team and Union SG medical staffs are being careful not to rush him into a setback.
David's potential inclusion, even as an impact substitute, would be a significant boost for Canada's offence, which has scored just four goals in its past six friendlies.
Career Profile
Despite his imposing six-foot-five frame, David is an instinctive goal scorer inside the opponent's penalty box.
He has recorded 39 goals in 78 appearances for Union Saint-Gilloise and three goals in eight appearances for Canada.
Tournament Schedule
Canada opens its tournament on June 12 in Toronto against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
