TFC heading into the Magic City hoping to pull a much needed win out of their hat Toronto FC’s record this year is for the birds, but the Reds are hoping to fly higher than The Herons on Saturday night.
Alejandro Pozuelo - Gets rested Wednesday Pozuelo played 37 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Atlanta United.
Impact Pozuelo had a terrific stint on the pitch mounting two shots (one on target) and five chances created for the limited time on. He's been on fire of late with one goal and two assists over his previous two starts and will certainly return to the starting XI for the next match.

Yeferson Soteldo - Gets rested versus Atlanta Soteldo played 37 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Atlanta United.
Impact Soteldo had a terrific stint on the pitch mounting three chances created, two crosses (both accurate) and three dribbles for the brief time on. He's been now on a four-match dry spell but has been very active still with five shots, eight chances created and 28 crosses over the same period and will surely return to the starting XI for the next affair.

Quentin Westberg - Makes three saves in 1-0 defeat Westberg made three saves in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Atlanta United.
Impact Westberg had a decent outing here in a rare start but couldn't do anything exceptional to earn the trust of his management and will surely return to the bench for the next outing with Alex Bono putting on the gloves again after his breather here.
AUGUST 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Morrow - Allows goal in rare start Morrow had one interception, one aerial won and two clearances in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Atlanta United.
Impact Morrow was fairly quiet and couldn't make a difference in his first start in last four matches. With just five starts all season long he'll likely have to return to the bench next time around after failing to impress here.

Ralph Priso - Has season-ending surgery Priso (ankle) is expected to miss the remainder of the season and will undergo surgery after injuring his ankle against New England last weekend.
Impact Priso was having a solid breakout season with Toronto, scoring a goal and making eight interceptions in 11 appearances (seven starts), but the 19-year-old will likely have to wait until next year to make another appearance on the field.

Jozy Altidore - Out for six weeks after surgery Altidore (foot) underwent a successful surgery on Thursday and is expected to miss around six weeks, according to a Toronto FC press release.
Impact Altidore already missed two games with this foot injury before his surgery, and he is now expected to be out until at least late September. The veteran forward only has two goals in just 10 appearances (five starts) this year, so Toronto is equipped to handle his absence -- despite fellow forward Ayo Akinola's season-ending ACL injury as well. Patrick Mullins and Jacob Shaffelburg will likely get more playing time at forward, while the team might be leaning more on Alejandro Pozuelo to score the goals -- he has only scored once this season, but he tallied a combined 23 goals and 19 assists in the two years previous.

Chris Mavinga - Hoping to return soon Mavinga confirmed on Twitter Thursday that he missed Wednesday's defeat against Atlanta United due to personal reasons, but that he is ready to return to the field "asap."
Impact Mavinga missed Toronto's prior two matches with a lower body injury, so it's not clear whether he's fully fit quite yet. He will likely be a game-time decision for Saturday's clash against Inter Miami.

Alex Bono - Allows two goals versus New England Bono made no saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 loss against New England.
Impact Bono only faced two shots and conceded both as he was first narrowly beaten by a looping Tajon Buchanan header in the 20th minute and then by a Gustavo Bou penalty in the 83rd minute. Bono has made 59 saves, allowed 34 goals and has kept just one clean sheet through 17 starts this season as Toronto has allowed the most goals in MLS. The club's next game will be Wednesday against Atlanta on the road.

Yeferson Soteldo - Records secondary assist Saturday Soteldo sent in 11 crosses (none accurate) and recorded a secondary assist in Saturday's 2-1 loss against New England.
Impact Soteldo had the ball on the left side of the box and took on a couple of defenders before he slid the ball through to Alejandro Pozuelo who then found Jonathan Osorio right in front of the net in the 79th minute. Soteldo was on three corners and some set pieces, but none of his 11 crosses resulted in any chances. He finished with one chance created, two shots (one on goal), two interceptions and two fouls drawn. Soteldo has two goals and five assists (three secondary) through 13 appearances this season. Toronto will be on the road Wednesday against Atlanta.

Jonathan Osorio - Scores goal against New England Osorio scored a goal on two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 loss to New England.
Impact Osorio positioned himself in front of the net and connected on an Alejandro Pozuelo pass for an easy tap-in goal in the 79th minute to tie the game at that point. Osorio also sent in two inaccurate crosses, won one of three tackles and made an interception in the loss. He now has four goals through 10 appearances this season. Toronto will play on the road against Atlanta on Wednesday.

Pozuelo also took a shot (on goal), sent in one inaccurate cross, took two corners and also made an interception. He has created three chances in each of his last three games and also has an assist in two consecutive starts. Pozuelo now has a goal and four assists through 10 appearances this season.
