Jonathan Osorio to miss June window with CanMNT through injury

Midfielder Jonathan Osorio will not join the Canadian men’s national team for the upcoming June international window after picking up an injury in Toronto’s 3-2 win over Chicago Fire FC on Saturday.

Osorio was forced off the pitch only 12 minutes into the game, departing with a lower-body injury. It appears to be a recurrent lesion for the player, who recently returned to the team after missing three games earlier with a similar lower-body issue.

It's a huge blow for Canada, as they looked to prepare for their first World Cup appearance since 1986. Osorio played a crucial role in leading Les Rouges to the top of the Concacaf table.

Canada will not be replacing Osorio on the squad, instead opting for a 24-player roster as they face Curacao and Honduras in the Concacaf Nations League.
