TFC Absences for the Derby | Toronto FC vs CF Montreal

As the two Canadian clubs prepare to face each other in a regular season match to keep accumulating points in the Eastern Conference, TFC arrives in a better position than Montreal.

With a better season so far, Toronto FC will look to earn another 3 points in the MLS, having recently lost some crucial points after previously holding third place in the conference. Meanwhile, CF Montreal is only a few points away from the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

These are the players who will be unavailable for Toronto FC in the match on May 18, with 3 confirmed absences and 2 questionable players whose participation will be determined at the last moment.

• Richie Laryea - Not Due to Injury (Out)
• Shane O'Neill - Thigh (Out)
• Brandon Servania - Thigh (Out)
• Kevin Long - Thigh (Questionable)
• Jonathan Osorio - Thigh (Questionable)

Awaiting the return of the captain, TFC is eager for Jonathan Osorio's comeback, who was sorely missed in the last match against Nashville, where The Reds were defeated 2-0 in a game lacking rhythm for Toronto.
