Tajon Buchanan back for Canada in Nations League series
The Inter Milan winger has been recalled by Canada after suffering a broken tibia during this summer's Copa América.
After a four-month absence due to a broken leg, Tajon Buchanan is back in the fold for the Canadian men’s team at a crucial time.
Coach Jesse Marsch on Friday announced his 23-man roster for Canada’s Concacaf Nations League quarter-final series later this month, and included in his squad is Buchanan, who plays for Inter Milan in Serie A.
Marsch’s Canadian team will train in Fort Lauderdale, Florida next week before travelling to Suriname for the first leg on Nov. 15. The return match is on Nov. 19 at Toronto’s BMO Field. The winner of the aggregate series advances to next year’s Concacaf Nations League finals.
Buchanan, a 25-year-old from Brampton, Ont., has been sidelined for the national team since early July when he suffered a broken tibia in training ahead of Canada’s quarter-final match against Venezuela at the Copa América after featuring in all three of his team’s group stage matches.
