Tajon Buchanan Faces Surgery After Training Injury Before Copa America Quarterfinal

Tajon Buchanan, a winger for Inter Milan and the Canadian national team, is set to have surgery after breaking his tibia during practice. The incident occurred ahead of Canada's Copa America quarterfinal against Venezuela, leading to the cancellation of the training session. Buchanan, who joined Inter Milan from Club Brugge, has played in all three of Canada's Copa America games so far.

Winger Tajon Buchanan is scheduled to undergo surgery Wednesday after breaking his tibia in practice ahead of Canada's Copa America quarterfinal against Venezuela.

Canada Soccer said the Inter Milan attacker sustained an injury to his lower leg during training Tuesday in nearby Fort Worth. The training session was canceled after Buchanan was taken away in an ambulance.

Canada Soccer stated that Buchanan was taken to a local hospital for further evaluation and treatment. A spokesman later confirmed that surgery was scheduled to repair a broken tibia.

Buchanan signed with Inter from Belgium's Club Brugge in January, making him the first Canadian to play in Serie A.

The 25-year-old from Brampton, Ontario, has participated in all three of Canada's Copa America games so far.

Currently ranked 48th in the world, Canada will face No. 54 Venezuela on Friday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
