Dom Dwyer - Takes one shot against Chicago Dwyer took one shot (off target) and completed three passes in Saturday's 2-1 win against Chicago.
Impact Dwyer couldn't do much going forward as Chicago dominated the chances, and was subbed off for Jozy Altidore at halftime. Dwyer has started the last three matches, but hasn't played more than 64 minutes in each of those appearances. He has yet to score a goal this season and Altidore may be in line for more minutes as he regains match fitness. Toronto will host Nashville at home Sunday.

Jozy Altidore - Plays second half against Chicago Altidore came off the bench and played the entire second half in Saturday's 2-1 win against Chicago.
Impact Altidore entered the game for Dom Dwyer after halftime and played the rest of the game, although he wasn't really effective with Chicago creating most of the chances. Altidore has appeared in three consecutive matches since returning to the club and has scored a goal. Saturday's action was also the most minutes he has played since his return as he looks to build fitness and reclaim a starting spot. Toronto will host Nashville on Sunday.

Alejandro Pozuelo - Takes two shots against Chicago Pozuelo took two shots (off target) and created three chances in Saturday's 2-1 win over Chicago.
Impact Pozuelo did create three chances, but no goals came directly from them in addition to Chicago having most of the chances in this game. He has two assists through eight appearances (six starts) thus far this season. Yeferson Soteldo shares some set piece duties and provides his own offensive impact, but Pozuelo's value should still remain strong especially with a healthy Toronto attack. Toronto's next game will come Sunday as the club hosts Nashville.

Alex Bono - Makes 13 saves against Chicago Bono allowed one goal and made 13 saves to secure three points in Saturday's 2-1 win against Chicago.
Impact Bono had an incredible game as Chicago dominated the chances and unloaded 31 shots, but Bono stopped 13 of the 14 he faced on target. He was beaten in the second half after a deflection in the box helped Chicago get a better chance, but overall was a huge reason Toronto won the game. Bono now has 50 saves, has allowed 26 goals and has kept one clean sheet through 13 starts this season. Toronto will host Nashville on Sunday.

Patrick Mullins - Records assist against Chicago Mullins recorded an assist off the bench in Saturday's 2-1 win over Chicago.
Impact Mullins came on at halftime and was able to provide an assist as he spread the ball over to Nick DeLeon in the box for a neat finish in the 76th minute, which turned out to be the game-winning goal. He also made an interception and four clearances in the win. Mullins has one goal and two assists through 12 appearances this season, although only three of those were in a start. Toronto will host Nashville at home Sunday.

Tsubasa Endoh - Records assist against Chicago Endoh recorded an assist in Saturday's 2-1 win against Chicago.
Impact Endoh took a heavy touch into the box, but Yeferson Soteldo was able to get on the end of it in the box to put Toronto up in just the second minute of play. He only played one half in the win, but has started the last four matches. Endoh has a goal and an assist in eight appearances this season. Toronto will host Nashville on Sunday.

Nick Deleon - Scores goal against Chicago DeLeon scored a goal off the bench in Saturday's 2-1 win over Chicago.
Impact DeLeon came off the bench in the 63rd minute and provided an impact as he scored with a neat finish from the right side of the box just 13 minutes later. He also won both tackles he attempted and made two clearances. DeLeon started four games this season, but seems to be in line for solid minutes off the bench after being out for a few games. Toronto will host Nashville in the club's next game Sunday.

Yeferson Soteldo - Scores goal against Chicago Soteldo scored a goal on four shots (two on goal) and also recorded a secondary assist in Saturday's 2-1 win against Chicago.
Impact Soteldo opened the scoring in just the second minute of the match as he made a run from the left side into the box and poked the ball into the far corner of the net. He also helped set up the club's second goal as he helped spread the ball to the other side of the field. Soltedo now has two goals and three assists (two secondary) through nine appearances this season. Toronto will play Sunday at home against Nashville.

Eriq Zavaleta - Back with club Zavaleta has returned to his club's training sessions as of Wednesday, according to John Molinaro of TFC Republic.
Impact Zavaleta's El Salvador national team was eliminated from the Gold Cup and he's now free to return to his regular obligations. His next chance to play will be in Sunday's match against Nashville SC, and the inclusion of Zavaleta seems more likely to push his team into a back-three alongside Chris Mavinga and Omar Gonzalez than to kick one of the latter two from the lineup.

Kemar Lawrence - Goes full 90 against USA Lawrence (undisclosed) started and went a full 90 in Sunday's 1-0 loss against the U.S. national team. He's now able to return to Toronto following Jamaica's loss.
Impact Lawrence could be an option for Toronto's next match, which comes Aug. 1 against Nashville. He supposedly picked up an injury in Jamaica's last game, but he was healthy enough to go the entire way against the U.S., so his health shouldn't be a question upon return to Toronto.

Auro - Dresses for bench Auro (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Chicago Fire.
Impact Auro was originally out of the squad, but a late injury to Justin Morrow sees Auro pushed onto the bench. It's uncertain whether he is actually fit to play, especially with his original designation outside of the squad.

Quentin Westberg - On the bench Saturday Westberg is on the bench for Saturday's match against Chicago Fire.
Impact Westberg had a finger issue that kept him out, but is now back on the bench. That said barring anything strange happening he is firmly the backup and unlikely to get much playing time.

Alex Bono - Concedes one in draw Bono made two saves and conceded one goal during Wednesday's 1-1 draw against New York Red Bulls.
Impact Bono only had to make two saves despite the fact that the opposition dominated for most of the match, with 19 shots attempted. In the first minute of the second half, he did great in a one-on-one situation against Fabio, but couldn't do much when Patrik Klimala came from behind to pick up the rebound and send the ball into the back of the net to open the scoring. The goalkeeper has only one clean sheet in 12 starts this season, with 15 saves and 13 goals conceded over the last seven, so he has to bounce back as soon as possible in order to retain is starting spot. Up next for him is Saturday's visit to Chicago.
JULY 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Omar Gonzalez - Makes six clearances in draw Gonzalez made six clearances and one block during Wednesday's 1-1 draw against New York Red Bulls.
Impact Gonzalez had a lot of work against the dangerous Patryk Klimala, but still made a nice job, pacing his side in clearances and holding the opposing attack to just one goal despite the 19 shots attempted. The centre back is a mainstay at the heart of the defense for Toronto and will probably remain in the lineup for Saturday's visit to Chicago.
JULY 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Marky Delgado - Fills stat sheet in draw Delgado created two chances, made six tackles (two won), four clearances and two interceptions and suffered two fouls during Wednesday's 1-1 draw against New York Red Bulls.
Impact Delgado had another big game for Toronto, pacing his side in tackles and adding some other nice numbers to his stat line. He provides as much as a holding midfielder can do from a fantasy perspective, with four chances created and 16 tackles over his last three starts. Up next for Delgado is Saturday's visit to Chicago.
