Middlesbrough's Alfie Jones has been included in Canada's World Cup squad despite suffering an injury that kept him out of action since Boxing Day. The centre-back made his debut for Canada in November and is set to face Bosnia Herzegovina in Group B. Jones was an inspired signing for Middlesbrough last summer, swapping Hull City for Teesside. He was having a really good season before his injury, and Middlesbrough's manager, Chris Wilder, has been impressed with his progress. Despite not having played a minute for Middlesbrough since his injury, Jones has been included in Canada's squad. He will face a Bosnia Herzegovina squad including Amir Hadziahmetovic, on loan at Hull last season. Goalkeeper Owen Goodman, who spent 2025-26 on loan at Huddersfield Town, then Barnsley, is also in Canada's squad. Jones will be looking to make a positive impact for Canada in the World Cup, despite his injury. He will face a tough test against Bosnia Herzegovina in Group B, but he is confident in his abilities. Jones has been working hard to regain his fitness and is determined to make a success of his World Cup campaign. He will be hoping to make a positive impact for Canada and help his team progress in the tournament.
