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.

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.
