TORONTO, Canada—Some tough news out of Canada camp as Toronto FC forward Ayo Akinola is likely done for the remainder of the regular season after suffering an ACL injury in Sunday’s match against the United States.
The 21-year-old striker injured his knee in the 18th minute, as he appeared to tweak his knee, going down in obvious pain, beating his hand against the ground in clear discomfort. After receiving treatment, Akinola—who was making his first career start for Canada against the nation he turned down—surprisingly managed to walk off under his own will and even tried to play through the injury.
