Toronto FC Gains Momentum with Key Players Returning
Toronto FC is gradually recovering from injuries, which could be crucial for the team's chances in the playoff race following a tough start to the 2026 MLS season.
The team managed a 1-1 draw against New York City FC, remaining in 12th place in the Eastern Conference, six points shy of the playoff line. This match extended Toronto's winless streak to 12 games in MLS, with their last victory occurring on April 4 against the Colorado Rapids.
Notably, designated players Josh Sargent and Djordje Mihailovic started together for the first time this season, with Mihailovic scoring his second goal of the year. Coach Robin Fraser expressed optimism that consistent play from these players could enhance the team's attacking performance, which has struggled this season. With a nearly full-strength roster, Toronto aims to improve its standings as the season progresses.
