Moise Bombito Set for Another Surgery Due to Ongoing Tibia Pain
Moise Bombito (26) is poised to undergo surgery again due to persistent pain in his tibia, according to a report from Nice-Matin.
Bombito sustained a broken tibia last October during the derby match against AS Monaco, sidelining him for the remainder of the season. Despite his injury, he earned a call-up to Canada’s national team for the FIFA World Cup held over the summer. Although he was not fully fit at the tournament’s start, he participated in both of Canada’s knockout games.
As the Ligue 1 season kicked off, Bombito remained unavailable for Nice during their match against FC Lorient, largely due to ongoing pain in his tibia. Following recent medical evaluations, it has been determined that he will now require another surgical procedure. Reports suggest that the defender faces several months on the sidelines as he recovers.

Moise Bombito (26) continues to suffer with pain in his tibia and is therefore expected to undergo surgery once again, as per a report from Nice-Matin.
Bombito broke his tibia last October during the derby against AS Monaco. The centre-back would not feature again for Nice all season but that did not prevent him from being selected by Canada for the FIFA World Cup over the summer. Whilst he was not fully fit for the start of the tournament, he nonetheless started both of Canada’s knockout games in the tournament.

However, Bombito was once again absent for Nice as they drew against FC Lorient on the opening day of the Ligue 1 season. His absence can be explained by recurrent tibia pain. Nice-Matin understands that, following tests this week, it has been decided that he must once again undergo surgery on the injury. It is estimated that the defender will be absent for several months.
