Training sessions with Toronto FC players are already starting for Canada

Training has already started for Canada’s national team, and this roster includes six Toronto FC players as well as some former club members. Among the current players called up are Deandre Kerr, Jonathan Osorio, and Richard Chukwu, while former Toronto FC players like Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty also join the squad.

This call-up is significant for the club as it highlights the individual work put in throughout the season, which was positive despite collective results that fell short, resulting in Toronto FC’s elimination from the MLS playoffs.

Canada, now a key contender in international competitions, had two Toronto FC players — Jonathan Osorio and Richie Laryea — representing the nation in the Copa América. Now, we should look at how Canada’s younger players from Toronto FC are developing. Emerging talents like Deandre Kerr and Richard Chook-Wu are promising prospects for the club’s future.

Specifically, Chukwu, is a young player with impressive potential, having competed in 10 matches for Toronto FC II this season and providing one assist, marking him as a player to watch closely.

In this FIFA international window, Canada will compete in the CONCACAF Nations League. They’ll face Suriname in the quarterfinals on Friday, November 15, and again on November 19. These games are crucial for Canada as they aim to win the championship, reinforcing their status as one of the top teams in world football today.

Toronto FC players are expected to see significant minutes, particularly Jonathan Osorio, who is currently one of the club’s most vital players. Watching him continue to represent Canada will be a key moment, as he prepares himself for the 2025 season. His contributions reflect his commitment to Canada and the broader influence of Toronto FC in international football, with many of its players showcasing their talent on the global stage.
