Canada’s captain Sidney Crosby was injured in the quarterfinal match against the Czech Republic. He had to leave the game.

Now new information has emerged about Crosby’s situation. TSN reports that Crosby is unlikely to play in the semifinal match against Finland.

– It sounds like Crosby might quickly go on the ice in the morning to see what the situation is. But it is unlikely that he will play against Finland. If he is unable to play, Nick Suzuki will likely take his place in the lineup, TSN reporter Ryan Rishaug says on X.

Canada’s head coach Jon Cooper previously stated that Crosby has not been ruled out of the tournament and that his situation will be evaluated day by day.

– We have the best forces taking care of him. We will look at the situation day by day. We are not going to jeopardize anyone’s health. But if he is able to play, he will definitely play, Cooper said on Thursday.
