Union Saint-Gilloise striker Promise David might not be among the Golden Boot favourites in the World Cup betting markets at the BetMGM sportsbook, but he projects to be a key member of Canada’s squad at this summer’s tournament.
David has three goals in eight caps since debuting in June 2025.
Why Is Promise David Not Playing?
David suffered a ruptured hip tendon at the end of February. He landed awkwardly and knew immediately that he had suffered a major injury after hearing a pop.
The injury usually has a six-month recovery timeline, which would have seen the striker miss the World Cup.
Will Promise David Play in the World Cup?
Canada manager Jesse Marsch is optimistic that David will be available for the World Cup.
David initially required surgery. Arduous rehab saw his timeline accelerate, and he was remarkably named to Canada’s training camp squad earlier this week.
Is Promise David Injury-Prone?
No, David has not been injury-prone in his career to date.
Prior to rupturing his hip tendon, his only previous injury was a minor knock in August 2025.
