Kadin Chung - Used sparingly for end of season Chung was an unused substitute in the Decision Day defeat against the Union.

Impact Chung made eight MLS appearances (five starts) in his senior debut season for Toronto, and he recorded an assist against Philadelphia in April. The 24-year-old hasn't featured since early May though and he remains more of a reserve team player in MLS NEXT Pro at the moment.

Luca Petrasso - Starts in season finale Petrasso made a clearance and an interception in Sunday's 4-0 Decision Day defeat against the Union.

Impact Petrasso made 23 appearances (21 starts) in his first senior season with Toronto, recording two assists in the opening month of the campaign. The 22-year-old was mainly used as a stop-gap left-back until Domenico Criscito joined the club and took over in the summer, but Petrasso can also play further up on the left wing as a backup option to Lorenzo Insigne.

Domenico Criscito - Misses season finale Criscito was not involved in the Decision Day defeat against the Union.

Impact Criscito started almost every game for which he was eligible since joining Toronto in June, keeping two clean sheets in 15 MLS appearances (14 starts) and scoring a goal against New England. The 35-year-old was mostly utilized at left-back this season, but he can also play in central defense as he looks forward to 2023.

Lukas MacNaughton - Makes four clearances in finale loss MacNaughton made a block, four clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 4-0 Decision Day defeat against the Union.

Impact MacNaughton kept two clean sheets in 25 appearances (20 starts) during his rookie season in MLS and the 27-year-old looks likely to remain a first-choice center-back heading into 2023, whether he's paired with Shane O'Neill, Chris Mavinga or someone new.

Shane O'Neill - Makes two blocks in season finale O'Neill made two blocks, two clearances and an interception in Sunday's 4-0 Decision Day defeat against the Union.

Impact O'Neill ended his first campaign in Toronto with one assist in 26 MLS appearances (21 starts) in central defense, but he did not keep a single clean sheet. The 29-year-old was splitting time fairly evenly with Lukas MacNaughton and Chris Mavinga for the most part this season, but the latter might not return to the club in 2023.

OCTOBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Chris Mavinga - Contract negotiations ongoing Toronto FC did not exercise Mavinga's contract option for 2023, but the club remains in talks with the player about a potential new contract.

Impact Mavinga has been a stalwart in Toronto's defense since 2017, with the 31-year-old keeping one clean sheet in 19 MLS appearances (all starts) in 2022. If no new deal is agreed upon then he would become a free agent in January.

Jonathan Osorio - Hopes to be ready for World Cup Osorio (head) is "optimistic" about returning in time for the World Cup, according to John Molinaro of TFC Republic.

Impact Osorio missed six of the final seven games of the season due to various injuries, more recently with a head issue. He'll definitely target a return for Canada's World Cup squad as it's a rare chance to play for his country on the highest level.

Quentin Westberg - Busy in rout Westberg made five saves and had one tackle (one won) and one clearance in Sunday's 4-0 loss versus Philadelphia Union.

Impact Westberg returned from a long-term injury for the final four matches of the regular season where he gave up 13 goals and made 19 saves. The Toronto defense gave Westberg no help, and looked completely porous throughout the campaign. It's likely that there is a complete tear down and rebuild in Toronto, though that doesn't necessarily profile well for Westberg, who hasn't had a clean sheet since 2020.

OCTOBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty - Makes fifth start Marshall-Rutty had one shot (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 4-0 loss versus Philadelphia Union.

Impact Marshall-Rutty was a rotational option throughout 2022, tallying 613 minutes, a new career-high. The right-back made just five starts but slowly worked his way into more playing time later in the campaign. Toronto continue to rebuild and Marshall-Rutty could be one of the few bright spots of a defense that will likely see a complete tear down.

OCTOBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mark-Anthony Kaye - Three shots in loss Kaye had three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate), and one chance created in Sunday's 4-0 loss against Philadelphia Union.

Impact Kaye had a lost season for all intents and purposes. He opened the campaign with Colorado before being moved to Toronto and nearly immediately picking up an injury that knocked him out for more than a month. Across both teams Kaye ended with three goals and three assists, creating 18 chances, a far cry from his previous brilliance with LAFC.

Federico Bernardeschi - Creates two chances Bernardeschi had nine crosses (three accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 4-0 defeat versus Philadelphia Union.

Impact Bernardeschi ends his first MLS season with eight goals and three assists in just 13 appearances. The forward looked like one of the best players in the league from the minute he stepped on the pitch, and heading into a 2023 season alongside Lorenzo Insigne they project as the core of an utterly lethal attack. Bernardeschi ends with 24 chances created and 65 crosses (34 crosses) as he took a role on set-pieces as well.

OCTOBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lorenzo Insigne - Out for season finale Insigne is not in Toronto's match day squad for Sunday's clash against the Union.

Impact Insigne will not be involved in Decision Day on Sunday as Toronto's season is already over. Insigne has been stellar during his short time with the club so far, with six goals and two assists in 11 appearances since making his MLS debut in late July. He will want to be even better in 2023 with the benefit of having a full preseason with the team.

Doneil Henry - On bench against Philadelphia Henry (hamstring) is in Toronto's match day squad for Sunday's clash against the Union.

Impact Henry has been out since picking up a hamstring injury in mid-September but he is available off the bench for Decision Day on Sunday. He hasn't featured in MLS since May.

Jonathan Osorio - Ends season injured Osorio (head) will miss Sunday's season finale against the Union, Toronto manager Bob Bradley told John Molinaro of TFC Republic on Friday.

Impact Osorio tallied nine goals and four assists in 23 MLS appearances (20 starts) from midfield this season, his most prolific campaign since 2018. However he missed most of the final six weeks or so due to various injuries and ailments, and he will hope to recover in time to play in the World Cup in November with Canada.

Richie Laryea - Suspended for season finale Laryea will miss next weekend's Decision Day clash against the Union with a suspension for yellow card accumulation after picking up his fifth booking of the season in last week's...

Impact Laryea recorded three assists and kept one clean sheet in 10 MLS appearances (all starts) at right-back this season after returning to Toronto on-loan in August. The 27-year-old is now set for another six months on-loan before returning to Nottingham Forest in June 2023. Meanwhile, Kosi Thompson or Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty should replace him in the lineup while he's suspended against Philadelphia at the weekend.

Quentin Westberg - Beaten late on Friday Westberg allowed a goal while making four saves during Friday's 1-0 loss to Miami.

Impact Westberg conceded the lone goal of the match in the 86th minute as Toronto fell on Friday. The keeper has now allowed 20 goals in just nine league starts while his four saves upped his season total to 32.

OCTOBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mark-Anthony Kaye - Makes four interceptions Kaye created a chance and made four interceptions during Friday's 1-0 loss to Miami.

Impact Kaye was held off the scoresheet, contributing more on the defensive side of the ball with a team-high four interceptions. Kaye has just one goal involvement in his seven appearances since being traded to Toronto in July.
