Toronto FC PR just released the following statement on Ashtone Morgan:
At time of writing, there was no further information available and I could not find out which bone had been operated on for this particular surgery.
However, with the timetable of 6-8 weeks, and the wording of “to repair a stress fracture in his foot” leads me to believe that it is most likely a 5th metatarsal body fracture, and less likely a navicular fracture.

Assuming that it is a 5th met fracture that was repaired, I would ascertain that 6 weeks is when we see Morgan returning to light training, and 8-10 weeks when he can fully go.
