DEANDRE KERR NEWS

Returning to Toronto Kerr is returning to Toronto after his contract option for 2025 was picked up.

He will remain a fringe option more likely than not moving into his fourth season north of the border.

Questionable to play Saturday Kerr (foot) is questionable to play Saturday against Orlando City SC, manager John Herdman told John Molinaro of TFC Republic on Thursday.

Impact Kerr didn't play against Simcoe County in the Canadian Championship, and it remains to be seen if he'll be available for the weekend. In any case, Kerr has started just three games in the current MLS campaign and hasn't played more than 80 minutes in any match, so his potential absence shouldn't affect many fantasy lineup for this weekend's slate.

Picks up foot injury Kerr is out for Wednesday's Canadian Championship match against Simcoe County Rovers due to a foot injury, according to manager John Herdman, per John Molinaro of TFC Republic.

Impact Kerr looks to be set to miss some time, as he is now out after appearing to go down with a foot injury training. Not much more is known on the issue at the moment, but this will be a somewhat significant loss, as he has started in three of the six matches he has been available for. The club will most likely turn to Prince-Osei Owusu to gain more time in place of Kerr, as they are very low in options in the attacking department. He will now hope for a return in the club's next contest against Orlando City on Saturday.

Impact Kerr has yet to make his season debut in 2024, but he could be in line to feature against NYCFC. That said, even if he's available, his fantasy upside should be pretty low, as he's expected to be nothing more than a bench option in Toronto's attack.

Out two weeks Kerr (calf) set for two more weeks out, manager John Herdman told reporters.

Impact Kerr is still two weeks away from making his return to the first team. The forward will likely be targeting a March 16 trip to NYC FC for his next chance. Kerr made 23 appearances and scored five goals in 2023, but will likely be a depth option for 2024.
