Not training, Wednesday unlikely
Jones (strain) is still not training and is unlikely to play in Wednesday's match against Switzerland, according to Joshua Kloke of The Athletic.
Analysis: Jones is not yet in team training, and this is now bringing heavy doubt to whether he will be an option Wednesday, having yet to play a minute this World Cup due to injury. He is still expected to train individually, but with only a few days between now and the game, his addition to team training will likely not take place. This has been a rough tournament for the defender, potentially an option for the knockouts.
Out Thursday
Jones is out for Thursday's match against Qatar due to a muscle injury, according to manager Jesse Marsch, per Matthew Scianitti of TSN.
Analysis: Jones will not be an option for Canada's second match of the group stage, as the defender will instead miss out due to a muscle injury. Luckily for the team, this is unlikely to shake up much, as he did not feature in their opener, instead unused from the bench after a previous injury. A return could come in the final group stage match against Switzerland, adding a bit more depth to the bench.
