Yeferson Soteldo - Sends in eight crosses in draw Soteldo had two off-target shots, created two chances, sent in eight crosses (three accurate), suffered three fouls and picked up a yellow card during Wednesday's 1-1 draw against...

Impact Soteldo had another huge performance for Toronto, using his combination of speed and skill to rack up a team-high five sucessful take-ons and create a lot for his teammates, which includes the cross that resulted on Ralph Priso's equalizer in the 62nd minute. The playmaker wasn't credited with an assist, though, as the goalkeeper partially cleared the ball before the strike, but the numbers he racked up over the last three matches (one goal, one assist, seven shots, six chances created and 17 crosses) show that he bounced back from a very slow start when he joined the club. Up next for Soteldo is Saturday's visit to Chicago.

Ralph Priso - Scores equalizer against Red Bulls Priso scored a goal off his lone shot, made four tackles (three won), three clearances and one block and picked up a yellow card during Wednesday's 1-1 draw against New York Red Bu...

Impact Priso was brought in the 18th minute, replacing the injured Auro (undisclosed), and did a great job on the defensive end. But his biggest contribution came on offense in the 62nd minute, when he sent the ball home after the goalkeeper could clear only partially a cross from the left flank. This was Priso's first career MLS goal and, depending on Auro's status for Saturday's visit to Chicago, he could very well be rewarded with a spot on the starting XI.

Auro - Could still be option Saturday Auro (undisclosed) will travel for Saturday's match against Chicago where his injury will be evaluated, according to interim coach Javier Perez.

Impact On a short week, it'd be a surprise if Toronto pushed Auro into the starting XI Saturday. It makes more sense to get him some rest and allow someone like Ralph Priso, who played well off the bench last match, to get a start.

Auro - Exits injured Wednesday Auro was forced off in the 18th minute of Wednesday's match against the Red Bulls with an undisclosed injury.

Impact Auro couldn't make it 20 minutes Wednesday and is unlikely to be ready on a short week for Saturday's trip to Chicago. He's been playing at right-back, a position Ralph Priso may not replicate despite coming on for him against Chicago.

Alex Bono - Concedes one in draw Bono conceded one goal and made four saves during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Orlando City.

Impact Bono has conceded 12 goals over his last four starts but things have started to improve during the recent change in management. It's still worth being wary when selecting Bono against any team with some attacking skill, as he hasn't recorded a victory in any of his last seven starts.

Alejandro Pozuelo - Takes four shots in draw Pozuelo took four shots (one on goal) and created two chances during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Orlando City.

Impact Pozuelo has provided two assists in four starts this season but his value is slightly dampened by sharing set piece duties with Yeferson Soteldo. If the entire attack finds its grove now that nearly everyone is healthy and available, Pozuelo's value should still remain strong.

Yeferson Soteldo - Active in draw Soteldo provided one secondary assist from one chance created and logged four crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Orlando City.

Impact Soteldo is quickly making himself comfortable after his return from injury and the Copa America with one goal, one assist and one secondary assist over his past two games. If his club finds a reliable striking asset, look to Soteldo as a useful target thanks to his role on set pieces.

Justin Morrow - Logs assist in win Morrow provided one assist from one chance created during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Orlando City.

Impact Morrow has only made two starts from six total appearances this season and managed to record an assist in his first full 90. If his place in the lineup becomes more assured, Morrow has proven himself to be a capably productive midfielder on both ends of the pitch, despite struggles to get onto the field in the past two seasons.

Jozy Altidore - Scores in return Altidore scored one goal in 26 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Orlando City.

Impact Altidore came back from his exile now that Chris Armas is done as the manager and instantly made an impact by opening the scoring. While Dom Dwyer was the one who started this match, Altidore may have first dibs on a starting spot once he builds up his fitness.

Kemar Lawrence - Suffers injury with Jamaica Lawrence was forced off in the 60th minute of Tuesday's Gold Cup match with an undisclosed injury.

Impact Lawrence is now a doubt for Jamaica's next match, which comes July 25 against USA. The hope is that it's not serious and he'll be ready to go in a few days, but if not, it could then put his status in doubt for a return immediately after the Gold CUp.

Ayo Akinola - Suffers ACL injury Akinola suffered an ACL injury in Sunday's Gold Cup match and is expected to miss the remainder of the season.

Impact It's a brutal turn of events for Akinola, who was admitted to the Canadian national team only a few weeks prior to the Gold Cup. Now, he'll likely miss the rest of the MLS season, a blow to an already slim attack. If that's the case, he'll finish with three goals from 11 appearances (eight starts).

JULY 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ayo Akinola - Out for Gold Cup Akinola suffered an ACL injury during Sunday's loss and is likely to be ruled out for the season, according to his club.

Impact Akinola is unlucky to go down while with his national side and suffer an injury that could end his entire season altogether. He scored three goals in 11 appearances and will hope for better news in the future.
