Olympique de Marseille defender Derek Cornelius may face a lengthy absence, according to Canada manager Jesse Marsch. The 28-year-old defender was taken to the hospital on Wednesday following a non-contact lower-body injury during a training session in Toronto. Canada manager Marsch revealed that Cornelius strained his hip when he accidentally caught his knee on the turf while chasing the ball with teammate Jonathan.
Marsch expressed concern over the severity of the injury, stating that it could potentially keep Cornelius sidelined for several months. The Canadian's injury could further strain the already thin Montreal squad, as Cornelius has only played 93 minutes of football for Marseille this season.
