Returns to full training
Jones (undisclosed) returned to full training with the Canadian national team Thursday, Joshua Kloke of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jones has taken a step forward in his recovery process, nearing a potential World Cup appearance, although he may initially be involved as a substitute given that he hasn't played since January. Depending on Jones' and Moise Bombito's (undisclosed) status, there could be an opportunity for someone like Joel Waterman or Luc De Fougerolles to produce in the back line in the first few World Cup games.
Held out of training
Jones was not an option in training Wednesday, according to Matthew Scianitti of TSN Sports.
Analysis: Jones came off the bench in a friendly over the weekend, but he may still be dealing with come stuggles, as he was not included in training Wednesday, only wearing his trainers. This is a bit concerning, as a further injury or some delayed complaints could see the club with less depth heading into their opener. That said, he is set for a minor role with the team, so an injury wouldn't force much change in the starting XI.
