Cyle Larin, Tajon Buchanan injured while with Canadian soccer team

Striker Cyle Larin and winger Tajon Buchanan have left Canada’s men’s soccer team after suffering injuries.

Canada Soccer says Larin “experienced back irritation” ahead of the national squad’s friendly against Peru on Saturday. He played in the country’s 1-0 win over Chile on Sept. 26.

Buchanan suffered a lower-body injury when he was tackled by a Peruvian defender in Canada’s 2-0 victory in Montreal.

Larin has returned to Southampton in the English Championship and Buchanan is going back to La Liga’s Villareal. Both players will be evaluated by their club teams.
