Toronto FC has faced several injury issues in recent months. While each match is contested with the utmost competitiveness, John Herdman’s team has struggled with injuries, preventing them from having a fully available squad for every game.

Here’s an update on Toronto FC’s injuries:

Deandre Kerr will be out for another two weeks due to ongoing discomfort from previous matches, which kept him from the last game against CF Pachuca. He is expected to return by the end of August, likely facing Forge FC in the Canadian Championship return leg.

Alonso Coello is expected to return after the Forge FC match, meaning the Spanish player will miss all of August but should be back in September, hopefully in top condition.

Tyrese Spicer might return in time for the Forge FC game, which would be crucial as the team needs a forward like him for the competitive final stretch of the season. He could potentially be back for the Canadian Championship semifinal.

Brandon Servania continues his recovery and won’t be available for the first team but is expected to play for TFC II this weekend to regain his form.

Nickson Gomis is a doubt for the game against Inter Miami. He is not at 100% physically, and while John Herdman hasn’t ruled him out, he is not fully relied upon for the match tomorrow. A final decision will be made closer to the game.

The same situation applies to Henry Wingo, who might have restricted minutes or not play at all against Inter Miami. He is still working on reaching optimal physical condition for competitive play with Toronto FC, and it’s likely he won’t feature in this challenging match in Miami.
