No concerns of setbacks following recent MRI on Moïse Bombito's stress fracture. But he'll be out 3 more weeks, likely returning to Nice training following Sept window, so there's no indication he'll be available for #CanMNT for Romania & Wales. @tsnofficial.bsky.social

Ismaël Koné's time at Marseille is likely over.

Roberto De Zerbi didn't want the #CanMNT midfielder last season and he was shipped to Rennes on-loan.

Now, @omofficiel.bsky.social want to offload the 23-year-old, according to @tsnscianitti.bsky.social
