U.S. international Joe Corona breaks foot, out for rest of 2014

U.S. international Joe Corona broke a bone in his right foot while playing for club side Tijuana on Friday night.

Tijuana sporting director Ignacio Palou confirmed that Corona broke the fifth metatarsal in his right foot during a 2-1 win against Queretaro.

The injury will keep Corona out for the rest of the Apertura season, Palou said. He should be able to return for the start of the Clausura after the new year.

Corona, who came on as a substitute in both of the United States' friendlies last week, will miss friendlies in November against Croatia and Republic of Ireland.

Corono posted a picture of himself on crutches on Instagram after the match:
