Inter Milan and Canada wingback Tajon Buchanan could be out until early in 2025 after suffering a tibia fracture.

This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews. The broadcaster reports that the 25-year-old will take 4-5 months to recover from his injury.

Inter wingback Buchanan is currently in hospital with an injury that he suffered in training.

The Canadian international has been part of his national team’s squad at the Copa America.

However, in today’s session he suffered a serious injury during training.

Sky report that Buchanan suffered a fracture to his tibia while challenging for a ball with a teammate.

And the injury was a very serious one. Buchanan needed to be taken away by ambulance following the injury.

Currently the Inter wingback is recovering in hospital.

The big question now is when exactly Buchanan will be able to return to action.

Certainly, the 25-year-old is out for the rest of the Copa America, and will miss Inter’s preseason.

Moreover, Sky report, it is certain that Buchanan will miss a significant amount of time at the start of the upcoming season.

The broadcaster anticipate that the recovery timeline for Buchanan will be no less than four months.

And then once Buchanan has healed, there will be the matter of the Canadian’s return to fitness.

Buchanan may require some time to get back to match fitness and integrate into the team tactically.

Therefore, the earliest that Buchanan could realistically be back on the pitch for Inter would be in the final few weeks of 2024.

And it could be that Buchanan does not play for Inter until the start of next year.

Buchanan’s injury comes as a significant blow to the Nerazzurri in terms of squad depth on the flanks.
