The 25-year-old Buchanan, who also plays for Serie A club Inter Milan, suffered the injury on Tuesday during a training session that was subsequently canceled. He was taken away in an ambulance for immediate medical attention.
“We wish Tajon the best in his recovery process and look forward to seeing him back on the pitch soon,” Canada Soccer said in a statement.
Buchanan, capped 40 times by Canada, played in all three of his country’s group-stage matches at the Copa America, where Canada reached the knockout stages in their tournament debut.
Canada finished second behind Argentina in Group A with a 1-1-1 record and is set to face Venezuela on Friday in Arlington, Texas.
