{allcanada} Cann out for rest of season

TORONTO -- Adrian Cann will miss the remainder of Toronto FC's season after the defender suffered a knee injury during training Tuesday.

"I can confirm that Adrian has torn his ACL and will miss the rest of the season," said Toronto FC Head Coach and Technical Director, Aron Winter. "It is a disappointment because Adrian has had a good start to the season and has been playing well, we will certainly miss his presence in the lineup. While it is difficult there is now an opportunity for younger players like Nana Attakora and others."

Cann, 30, started all 12 games so far this season for Toronto.

The Thornhill, Ont., native is in his second season with the team after joining Toronto as a free agent on April 12, 2010. He started 26 games last season and earned the team's most valuable player award.

Cann has also earned nine international caps for Canada during his career.
