MONTREAL – Canada captain Alphonso Davies trained on his own Wednesday as the men’s national team continued preparations for the FIFA World Cup.

Davies, unlikely to play in Canada’s tournament-opener on June 12 due to a hamstring injury, jogged away from the main group and went through stretching exercises with a trainer at Centre Nutrilait, the practice facility of Major League Soccer club CF Montréal.

The Bayern Munich star joined midfielder Jacob Shaffelburg on return-to-play protocols as Canada continues to manage a growing list of injuries.

Defenders Moïse Bombito and Alfie Jones, meanwhile, joined midfielder Ali Ahmed in modified training.

After opening camp in Charlotte, N.C., 30th-ranked Canada is training in Montreal ahead of its final exhibition match before the World Cup against No. 59 Ireland at Stade Saputo on Friday.

The tournament co-hosts open the World Cup against Bosnia-Herzegovina in Toronto before heading to Vancouver for group-stage matches against Qatar on June 18 and Switzerland on June 24.
