Club Brugge winger Tajon Buchanan, recovering from injury, was invited to the Canada camp but will only see limited action, according to Herdman.The 30-year-old Osorio, a key component for both Toronto and Canada, returned to action last Saturday when he came off the bench to play 18 minutes in TFC’s 4-0 loss at Orlando. He had not played since Aug. 20.
Osorio was cleared at halftime of the Chicago game and finished out the match, saying he didn’t feel any symptoms at the time other than the impact of the hit itself. He made the trip to Montreal three days later, only to sit out due to what the club called concussion-like symptoms. Osorio started TFC’s next seven outings, scoring four goals.
