Santa Clara, CA (Sports Network) - San Jose Earthquakes goalkeeper Joe Cannon is expected to miss the next six to eight weeks after he sustained a broken ankle in training.

Cannon spent the past six games on the bench before he recorded a clean sheet against the Kansas City Wizards in a 1-0 win this past Saturday.

"He's just doing routine goalkeeping, comes out to block a shot, gets his ankle caught underneath him and snaps the ankle," said coach Frank Yallop of how Cannon was injured. "Joe's a tough guy, but he was in a lot of pain."

The injury means that Jon Busch will return to the starting lineup for San Jose's match against the Los Angeles Galaxy on Saturday, while the team will bring in an MLS pool goalkeeper as a backup for the game.
