Canada’s Alphonso Davies was on the ​training field at the National Soccer Development ‌Centre on Monday but did ​not play a full ⁠part in the session, with the team saying he is still in a return-to-play ‌protocol as he recovers from a hamstring injury.

After a 1-1 ‌draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina ‌in its Group B opener ⁠in Toronto, Canada has moved to Vancouver for its next two games.

Although Davies, 25, took ​part in some ‌of the warm-ups for Monday’s session, a team official said he was still not in full training ‌ahead of Thursday’s game against ​Qatar.

“He (Davies) is one of the best players on our team, ⁠he’s a world-class player so obviously to have him in the lineup ‌would be amazing,” defender Joel Waterman told reporters.

“We have complete confidence in the roster from one to 26, and whoever can step in to play, they’re going ‌to do a great job.”

All four teams ​in the group have one point, one goal scored and one ⁠conceded ahead of the second round ⁠of games on June 18, with Switzerland taking on Bosnia ‌in Los Angeles before Canada’s clash with Qatar in Vancouver later ​on Thursday.
