Alejandro Pozuelo - Starts Saturday Pozuelo is in the starting XI for Saturday's showdown with NYCFC.

Impact Pozuelo returns to the starting XI at the second try, after missing the midweek match. The fact he missed the midweek match makes it seem that he is likely back to full health. Pozuelo runs the Toronto midfield and is a big contributor to their limited offense.

Justin Morrow - On bench vs. NYCFC Morrow is on the bench for Saturday's clash with NYCFC.

Impact Morrow is on the bench for Saturday's clash following an undisclosed injury. Whatever it was it appears not to be serious, as Morrow is back on the bench.

Richie Laryea - Starts Saturday Laryea (leg) is in the starting XI for Saturday's showdown with NYCFC.

Impact Laryea was always a late test for this match and it appears he passed with flying colors. The midfielder is right back into the starting XI, and will look to lockdown the role long-term.

Richie Laryea - Late test for Saturday Laryea (leg) is considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's match against NYC FC, reports John Molinaro of TFC Republic.

Impact Laryea returned from the Gold Cup a couple matches ago and in his second game, he suffered the injury. It doesn't sound serious, so he could be back Saturday or the following match. If he can't go, Marco Delgado and Ralph Priso are options to start at right-back.

Alejandro Pozuelo - Remains doubt for Saturday Pozuelo (leg) is considered day-to-day for Saturday's match against NYC FC, reports John Molinaro of TFC Republic.

Impact Pozuelo was day-to-day midweek and he failed to make the squad. He's missed the last two matches and without an upgrade in his status, there's a decent chance he remains out Saturday against NYC FC, pointing to another start for Jonathan Osorio.

Yeferson Soteldo - Misses PK versus Philadelphia Soteldo missed a penalty on his lone shot but hauled in two chances created, eight crosses (one accurate), two dribbles, three corners, two fouls drawn and three dispossessions in...

Impact Soteldo missed a golden chance to continue his prolific run but he still turned in a solid all around performance. He's been in a great form of late with two goals and two assists over his previous five outings and has been incredibly productive in peripheral stats as well as set pieces also boost his numbers.

Alex Bono - Makes four saves in 3-0 loss Bono made four saves in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Philadelphia Union.

Impact Bono has been under siege of late and has been kept busy getting forced to make whopping 29 saves from his past six outings alone. He hasn't had a clean sheet during that period and has allowed nine goals but the huge amount of saves still gives him some fantasy value. The keeper has merely kept one shutout all season long.

Jozy Altidore - Quiet again in defeat Altidore had one shot (off target), one tackle won and one interception in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Philadelphia Union.

Impact Altidore turned in another awfully quiet outing despite now getting back to back starts. The veteran has only two goals thus far this campaign and with just four starts he'll likely return to the bench as soon as some of the missing starters return.

AUGUST 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dom Dwyer - Misses Philadelphia clash Dwyer didn't make the 20-man squad for Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Philadelphia Union due to an undisclosed reason.

Impact It remains unclear what's the reason behind Dwyer's absence on the pitch here and until that clears out his status for the next game remains in limbo as well.

Justin Morrow - Misses loss to Philadelphia Morrow didn't make the 20-man squad for Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Philadelphia Union due to an undisclosed reason.

Richie Laryea - Exits injured Wednesday Laryea was forced off in the 60th minute with a possible leg injury in Wednesday's match against Philadelphia.

Impact Laryea was getting his second-straight start following international duty, but it may have been two stars too soon following his absence. The hope is that it's not anything too serious, but on a short week, Ifunanyachi Achari or Marco Delgado could start at right-back Saturday against NYC FC.
