Once again, alarm bells are ringing for Toronto FC. What seemed like a minor knock has turned into a serious and concerning injury for TFC this season.

Absences continue to plague The Reds, and at this point in the season, injuries are becoming a major obstacle for Toronto FC. Alonso Coello left the match against New York RB after a knock, initially thought to be harmless, but the worst is now happening.

Toronto FC has confirmed that Alonso Coello could be out for Herdman's squad for 10 to 12 weeks. This suggests that Coello might be sidelined until September due to a hamstring injury.

Bad news keeps coming for Toronto FC. In an initial assessment regarding Alonso Coello during the match, it was estimated that he would be out for 3 to 4 weeks at most. However, a thorough examination has confirmed that he could be out for almost 3 months due to this injury.

With absences due to the Copa America and now another injury in John Herdman's team, Toronto FC is struggling with the small size of their squad and the lack of sufficient replacements for the positions they need. This issue is also related to transfers and promoting talented players from the youth divisions, as the club has great talent that needs to be managed properly to avoid wasting it.

On June 29th, in their away match against Atlanta United, we will see what team Herdman will field for this game. However, they must approach it with the mentality that a loss would put them in a critical state in the Eastern Conference, making it almost impossible to recover.

What do you expect from this match between Atlanta United and Toronto FC?
