John Herdman’s Starting Eleven for this Match

In what promises to be a challenging match, with both Austin FC and Toronto FC desperate for victory, John Herdman has sent his best squad onto the pitch. A notable inclusion is Alonso Coello, who returns after an injury that kept him sidelined for several weeks. He’s now ready to make his presence felt in this match against Austin FC. Here’s the lineup selected by John Herdman for the match at BMO Field:

Sean Johnson, Henry Wingo, Nicksoen Gomis, Raoul Petretta, Matty Longstaff, Alonso Coello, Jonathan Osorio, Lorenzo Insigne, Federico Bernardeschi, Deandre Kerr, and Richie Laryea.

In their usual 3-4-3 formation, John Herdman’s team will go all out in search of the win in this crucial part of the season. With several games left to secure a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, today's match feels like a final for the squad, who are highly motivated and ready to make a statement in the championship, showing that they are as eager for the title as any other team.

Herdman will also need to carefully manage the physical condition of his players, as they face Columbus Crew in a few days – another difficult MLS opponent. The goal will be to have the best squad available, including the team’s two key Italian stars, Federico Bernardeschi and Lorenzo Insigne, for that important clash.
