Scott Kennedy suffers shoulder injury that will keep him out of the FIFA World Cup

Canadian centre back Scott Kennedy will miss the coming FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ after suffering a shoulder injury in league action with SSV Jahn Regensburg in the 2.Bundesliga. As confirmed by the club, he is expected to miss several weeks and will not return to club action until the new year.

Now in his second international season, the 25-year old Kennedy from Calgary, Alberta made his international “A” debut on 8 June 2021 during FIFA World Cup™ Qualifiers. At the club level, he is in his seventh season since moving to Europe in 2016 and has spent the past three seasons with SSV Jahn Regensburg.

At the international level, Kennedy has made eight international “A” appearances, all in FIFA World Cup Qualifiers since last summer. He was an important part of Canada’s run to first place in Concacaf as the Men’s National Team qualified for the FIFA World Cup™ for the first time in 36 years.
