Toronto FC's Starting XI to Face Colorado Rapids

As another MLS matchday approaches, we can see that with just a few games left in the regular season, Toronto FC is obligated to win several of them. Facing Colorado Rapids away is one of these key matches, and John Herdman’s lineup promises a fabulous and thrilling game where they will give it their all on the field, aiming for the best possible result.

John Herdman Confirms the Starting XI for this Match

In a press conference a few days ago, John Herdman confirmed the absences for this game, and also mentioned which players he would be cautious with during the match. This includes players like Kevin Long, Lorenzo Insigne, and Jonathan Osorio, who are not 100% fit for this game, especially with the Canadian Championship final against Vancouver FC coming up in a few days.

For this reason, Herdman has selected these 11 players to face Colorado Rapids in what will be an exciting match:

Sean Johnson
Kobe Franklin
Sigurd Rosted
Aime Mabika
Brandon Servania
Shane O'Neill
Tyrese Spicer
Kosi Thompson
Deybi Flores
Prince Owusu
Derrick Ettiene Jr

We can see that Federico Bernardeschi is out of the starting XI to protect the player, but he will be available from the bench to contribute significantly if needed. On the other hand, Lorenzo Insigne is neither in the starting lineup nor the substitutes, making it clear that he's not in good physical condition and will be rested for the upcoming Canadian Championship final.

Notably, Brandon Servania returns to the starting lineup after a long time. He’s a player with fantastic talent who deserved to return to compete with Toronto FC. We also see players like Sigurd Rosted and Aime Mabika in this starting XI, players who haven’t had significant minutes with Toronto FC in recent matches but will play an important role in this game.

It’s expected to be a thrilling match, and Toronto FC will need to deliver on the field to show they are serious contenders for a playoff spot in MLS.
