You could hear a sigh of despair at the moment when Moze bombed the Nice on the Nice Field last weekend against Monaco. It looked bad, and this is not the player who is known for theatrical productions of modern football every time he falls to the ground.
The fears were justified later on the same day when it was confirmed that, perhaps, the best defender of Canada broke the tibia and he had to be outside the game for several months.
It is amazing how the increased depth of the team can be nullified due to the injury of one player.
How about good news? Relatively speaking, of course. The break is not shifted, which means that complete recovery is expected, and if everything goes according to plan, Canada will have a healthy and fresh bombing to the World Cup next year. Nevertheless, the flags were raised because the injury occurred in the same tibia, due to which the 25-year-old player dropped out of the game at the end of last season.
If the term “fracture of the tibia without displacement” sounds deafening, then this is because this injury recently occurred in the Canadian national team.
Tajon Buchenen received the same injury in the summer of 2024 during training at the America Cup. The loss of the best right -wing striker became a disaster for the head coach Jesse Marsh, and although the team held a brilliant game at the Kopa Cup, the lack of Buchenin felt.
Buchenen, of course, completely recovered and enjoys the magnificent beginning of the Spanish season in Villarreal, not to mention the Canadian national team. A native of Brampton, Ontario, sent a bombing message, and his experience, of course, instilled a lot of optimism in his fallen comrade.
“I returned to training as part of Inter (Milan) after three and a half, four months,” Buchanen said Sportsnet.ca. “He played his first game after Canada after five months. It is obvious that before that I was in matches for about four games for my club, so, obviously, I returned about five months later, we can say.”
“I think that you show your best qualities in the game rhythm, and, obviously, if you find yourself in a situation where you can play a week after a week and get more minutes, then you may feel better much faster.”
For Buchenen, these were difficult times. After a widely advertised transition to the Inter Milan from Bruges in January 2024 and the early promising performances to Nerazzurri, his Italian career was disrupted due to an injury at the Kopa Cup. When he returned, he did not have enough playing time, as a result of which he was leased to Villarreal, which later became constant.
“It is obvious that I was in a situation where I did not play, and that is why I went on rent,” Buchenin said. “And I think that as soon as I took these games for my belt and began to find that game rhythm, I again felt the best. And I think that this helped me go directly to the end of the season and summer, and then, obviously, right now, so I think, although all are different, if you are in a suitable situation, then recovery can happen much earlier. This is an annoying injury, but this is what you can definitely recover and return to your best shape. ”
Words that will bring a lot of comfort not only bombed, but also Canadian football fans. In the end, a bombing is an outstanding talent. Perhaps his name has not yet become a household name, but he is well known in European football circles, and at some point he is advertised to go to a huge club. Athletic and lightning -fast central defenders do not grow just on the trees, and if you add its positional IQ to them, he can become a player with the largest growth potential in the Canadian national team.
Bomboto formed an excellent partnership with Derek Cornelius from Canada. However, his previous leg injury, as well as her wrist injury this summer, gave the march the opportunity to experiment on the position of the central defender.
It should be noted the game of the 19-year-old Luke de Fuherol. Although de Fuherol is still raw and far from the bombing level, he demonstrated amazing potential. Currently, the Fulham player, who is on rent in the Belgian Dender, has a huge opportunity to declare himself as a real contender for participation in the World Cup in the coming months.
“A player (like Moyze), playing at the highest level, I can always learn a lot from him,” said de Fuherol. “He is a role model for me when I come to the national team, since he is a top-central defender. I try to understand his game, ask him questions and try to become better, but, of course, it is very unfortunate that he is not here, but I hope that he will be back in a few months, and I can continue to study with him.”
Buchenin, now a veteran of international football, who played 53 matches for his team, agreed.
“Moses is a special and important player for this team,” he said. “I think that everyone chooses his own path, and his path is definitely inspiring. And over the past few years, he really showed what kind of player he is, and became such an important player for this country, a great, excellent player. ”
“This is a very unsuccessful situation. Obviously, this is what I went through, and now he will have to go through this, but … without a doubt, he will be good and will return more than ever, with motivation and all this, and he will probably return to his best form.”
The prognosis is positive, but given that Alfonso Davis has yet to return after the injury of the front cruciate ligament, and Alistair Johnston is still lacking a place with a rupture of the pod -shaped tendon (not to mention Sama Achilla, which remained a few months after the Achilles rupture), the march will have to use the high -profile blanket in this window in this window in front of the sampling. matches with Australia and Colombia.
The fact that he can still put competent protection is evidence of the increased depth of the Canadian national team. However, if you count on a teenager in de Fuherol, rely on the fact that Richie Laja will play on the left, and not on his natural right side, and play Niko Sigur on the right, when the coach publicly stated that he prefers the player in the center of midfield, this really says a lot: the depth is great … until you lose one player.
