Canadian goalkeeper and captain Borjan out for the remainder of the Gold Cup
Canada captain Milan Borjan will miss the rest of the CONCACAF Gold Cup with an unknown injury.
Canada Soccer says the goalkeeper has returned to Europe so he can recover ahead of the 2023/24 club season.
Borjan was in goal for Canada’s 2-2 draw with Guadeloupe in Toronto on Tuesday and the 0-0 draw against Guatemala in Houston on Saturday.
With two points from two games, Canada must win the Group D final against Cuba on Wednesday to advance to the quarter-finals of the Gold Cup.
Borjan leads the men’s national team in games by goalkeeper with 77 and clean sheets with 35.
The 35-year-old player has been playing club football with Red Star Belgrade from Serbia since 2017, but was loaned to Slovan Bratislava from Slovakia last month.
