After a long time without these two footballers, they finally return home. Toronto FC has missed these players a lot due to their time with the Canadian national team competing in the Copa America.
Richie Laryea and Jonathan Osorio had a dream Copa America where unfortunately they didn't win either the championship or third place, but they did raise Canada's name high in this Copa America, undoubtedly being the total revelation of the tournament by finishing fourth in this important championship where countries like Uruguay, Colombia, and Argentina, internationally recognized for their high sporting level, were competing.

The Toronto FC footballers represented the team in the best possible way.
The minutes of these footballers in the Copa America were exceptional, where Richie Laryea even started as a substitute and ended up as a starter and even captain. Meanwhile, Jonathan Osorio mostly came off the bench, except for some matches where he started due to Kone's muscular problems, but both showed great performance in the Copa America.
It has been confirmed that Richie Laryea and Jonathan Osorio will be available for the match on July 17 against Inter Miami, where they received a more than pleasant welcome and congratulations for the great work they did defending their country's colors.
At this moment, John Herrmann is clear that Richie Laryea and Jonathan Osorio will be ready to perform their sporting duties in Miami, seeking to achieve the best possible result against an opponent that is among the best teams in the Eastern Conference and in the entire MLS.
Although Richie Laryea was one of the most anticipated footballers for the return in this part of the season, Toronto FC suffered a lot in the MLS without these two players, accumulating even six consecutive defeats and practically going almost two months without adding three points.
However, in the match against Philadelphia Union on July 13, this streak was broken and they managed to return to victory with a very inspired Lorenzo Insigne and a lethal Deandre Kerr with his goals.
It is expected that Richie Laryea and Jonathan Osorio will be part of the starting eleven that we will see in the next few hours, discovering the decision that John Herrmann made to face this extremely difficult match, although neither Lionel Messi nor probably Luis Suarez will be available for this match.
