Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty - Delivers assist in tight win Marshall-Rutty assisted once to go with one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 win versus New England Revolution.

Impact Marshall-Rutty didn't do much in his cameo off the bench, but his aerial assist allowed Prince-Osei Owusu to score the team's lone goal. Marshall-Rutty can be a disruptive player in the final third with his pace, but he won't carry a lot of fantasy upside if he continues to play off the bench going forward.

Prince-Osei Owusu - Scores game-winning goal Saturday Owusu was injured and subbed out in the 85th minute of Saturday's 1-0 victory against New England Revolution. He scored one goal to go with four shots (three on goal) before exitin...

Impact Owusu scored the game-winning goal in the 66th minute with a beautiful flick following an aerial assist from Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty, but unfortunately, he also left the game injured in the dying minutes of the second half. Owusu now has three goals in two games, and if deemed healthy, he should lead Toronto's attacking line against Orlando City next Saturday.

Sean Johnson - Keeps clean sheet Saturday Johnson had five saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 1-0 victory against New England Revolution.

Impact Johnson was active every time the Reds needed him, and his play between the posts was instrumental in snapping Toronto's ongoing losing streak. Johnson will aim to keep this run and record a second consecutive clean sheet against Orlando City next Saturday.

Federico Bernardeschi - Starting Saturday Bernadeschi (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with New England.

Impact Bernadeschi required a late fitness test but evidently passed that late fitness test as he heads straight into the starting XI. The forward will be called upon to lead the attack throughout from the wing or attacking midfield. Prince Osei-Owusu also starts in the attack alongside Bernadeschi.

Tyrese Spicer - Set for return Spicer (toe) is expected to be an option for Saturday's match against New England, according to manager John Herdman, per John Molinaro of TFC Republic.

Impact Spicer is now in line to make his return Saturday, which should come as no surprise after the midfielder was included in team training this week. This is great news for the club, as he is a regular starter when fit, most likely immediately reclaiming his starting spot on the left flank of the attack.

Alonso Coello - Out with concussion Coello is out for Saturday's match against New England due to a concussion, according to manager John Herdman, per John Molinaro of TFC Republic.

Impact Coello is set to miss his first match of the season, as he has picked up a concussion over the past week. This will cause some changes among the starting side, as he has gotten the start in seven of the club's eight matches this season, with the formation most likely changing back to a 3-4-3 with Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty entering the starting XI on the right flank. Coelle will now hope to get out of concussion protocol during the upcoming week, looking to be considered an option for the match against Orlando on April 27.

Federico Bernardeschi - Needs late fitness test Bernardeschi (undisclosed) will undergo a late fitness test to determine whether he'll be available to face New England on Saturday, John Molinaro of TFC Republic reports, though h...

Impact Bernardeschi has been a consistent performer for Toronto this season, and while he hasn't been very productive in the final meters, he remains a key piece in the team's attacking scheme. He's yet to score in eight appearances this season, but Bernardeschi has registered 27 shots, 18 chances created and 44 chances created, giving him a high floor even if he's not finding the back of the net regularly.

Jordan Perruzza - Integrates with full group Perruzza (groin) is in full training with the group ahead of Saturday's match against the New England Revolution, reports John Molinaro of the TFC Republic.

Impact Perruzza is making big steps during his recovery as he starts full team training. If all goes well, the forward could see his season debut Saturday, barring any setbacks. He only made a start in five appearances in 2023, missing most of the campaign with injury.

Tyrese Spicer - Trains fully Spicer (toe) was seen back in full training Wednesday ahead of Saturday's match against New England, per John Molinaro of the TFC Republic.

Impact Spicer will likely be good to go Saturday after returning to team training following a toe injury. He had previously starter the last three matches at the left midfield, recording a goal with 17 crosses (two accurate) in that span. Raoul Petretta had started the last outing in his spot, where he will look to compete for that position with Spicer once fully fit.

Sean Johnson - Gives up three goals Saturday Johnson had two saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against Charlotte FC.

Impact Johnson couldn't do much in any of the three goals he conceded -- a long-range strike, a goal aided by a defensive mistake, and a tap-in from very close range. Johnson has now conceded seven goals in his two starts since returning from injury. He'll aim to bounce back and tighten things up when Toronto takes on New England on Saturday.

Deybi Flores - Takes two shots in loss Flores registered two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 loss against Charlotte FC.

Impact Flores might have played a defensive-minded role in midfield, but he broke the lines every time he had the chance. A constant attacking threat despite his midfield role, Flores has been one of the most consistent players for Toronto. He's also been valuable in fantasy, taking five shots, creating three chances and putting up solid defensive numbers as a central midfielder.

Prince-Osei Owusu - Nets brace off bench Saturday Owusu scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Charlotte FC.

Impact Owusu entered the game in the second half and only needed four minutes to make his presence felt, as he equalized the game with a tap-in from very close range. Not happy with that, the promising striker doubled his tally following a rebound late in the second half. Owusu could've done enough to secure a starting role when Toronto takes on New England on Saturday. He now has three goals this season.

Impact Long was sent off in the 98th minute after receiving a second yellow card to avoid what would've likely been Charlotte's fourth goal. The defender, who had started in each of Toronto's eight previous contests this season, will be eligible to return against Orlando City on April 27. Expect Aime Mabika to replace Long at the center-back against New England on Saturday.

Tyrese Spicer - Officially out Spicer (toe) is out for Saturday's trip to Charlotte, per the MLS injury report.

Impact Spicer was originally listed as questionable but was downgraded to out in the final injury report. The defender will now miss Saturday's clash, and be in doubt for an April 20 match against New England. Spicer has started three matches in a row and will be tough to replace for Saturday's match, potentially prompting a change in formation.

Shane O'Neill - Out four weeks with quadriceps issue O'Neil will not be an option for the club for around four weeks due to a quadriceps injury, according to manager John Herdman, per John Molinaro of TFC Republic.

Impact O'Neil is set for a long-term absence, as he has been affected in the quadriceps region and will now be out for around the next month. This will leave the team in a tough spot, as the defender has started in all seven matches this season, most likely forcing Nicksoen Gomis and Sigurd Rosted into a more prominent role, with those two players being bumped to starters while O'Neil is out. He will now hope for a return near mid-May, looking for no setbacks and to reclaim his starting spot as soon as he is fully fit.
