Return of Osorio, Laryea boosts Toronto FC ahead of games in Miami and Montreal
Buoyed by the return of captain Jonathan Osorio and Richie Laryea from Copa America and having finally snapped a nine-game winless run, Toronto FC looks to consolidate a post-season position with 10 games remaining in the MLS regular season.
The playoff push starts with two challenging road games, however, as John Herdman’s team visits Inter Miami on Wednesday and CF Montreal on Saturday.
Toronto (8-13-3, 27 points) currently sits eighth in the Eastern Conference and needs to pick up points if it wants to separate itself from the pack chasing the eighth- and ninth-place wild-card berths. Nashville (6-9-8, 26 points) currently occupies ninth.
Montreal, Atlanta, D.C. United, New England and Chicago go into weekend play in 10th through 14th place, respectively, with Montreal just one point below Toronto and Chicago five points adrift. And all but D.C. have at least a game in hand on TFC.
