Analysis:Buchanan has received a more precise diagnosis after suffering an injury during Canada's clash against Peru, confirming damage to his right hamstring. The winger has already been ruled out for Saturday's La Liga clash against Real Madrid, and the club has yet to establish a timeline for his return. Buchanan has been an important part of Villarreal's attacking rotation this season, recording 11 shots, eight chances created and 24 crosses across seven La Liga appearances, although he has yet to register a goal or assist.
