Tajon Buchanan 'suffers broken leg' after 'freak accident' in Canada training at Copa America with Inter star now facing lengthy spell on sidelines

Training came to a halt on Monday after Buchanan <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/canada-tajon-buchanan-ambulance-injury-copa-america-knockout-venezuela/blt762569ff375ee2c8#cs9434e9cffe63d738" target="_blank">sustained a lower leg injury</a>, which <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5611971/2024/07/02/tajon-buchanan-canada-injury/" target="_blank">The Athletic</a> are now reporting is a leg break.The winger was taken to hospital, where scans revealed the severity of the injury. <a href="https://x.com/TSNScianitti/status/1808276199593980322" target="_blank">TSN</a> reported that Buchanan broke his tibia and will undergo surgery on Wednesday morning.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Buchanan had played a part in every game for Canada so far in their Copa America campaign, starting against Argentina and coming off the bench against Peru and Chile. Suddenly, Jesse Marsch loses a player who can stretch the field and attack with speed - in the most awful of circumstances, too.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Canada's Alistair Johnston described Buchanan's injury as a "freak accident" to <a href="https://x.com/TSNScianitti/status/1808211988914335763" target="_blank">TSN</a>."It's a really difficult one, all of our minds are focused on this next match," Johnston said. "The thing with sports is freak accidents can happen. It was a nothing play, just a weird collision. Unfortunately stuff like that can happen."

WHAT BUCHANAN'S TEAMMATE SAID

Canada can't afford to let Buchanan's injury derail what has been a positive tournament for them. They recovered from a 2-0 defeat to Argentina in their opening group game to seal their place in the quarter-finals by beating Peru and drawing with Chile.Next up for Marsch's side is a meeting with Venezuela in Dallas on Friday.
