Richie Laryea, Pablo Piatti expected to be available for TFC’s first playoff game

TORONTO, Canada—Reinforcements are on the way.

Both Pablo Piatti (calf) and Richie Laryea (groin) are expected to be available for Toronto FC’s first postseason game Tuesday against Nashville SC.

Piatti, a designated player for the club, has missed the past four matches after suffering a Grade 2 calf strain in a training session. It’s perhaps no coincidence that the team struggled in his absence, posting one win and three losses during that span.

Laryea, meanwhile, tried to play through his groin injury but was eventually forced off during the first half of the Reds’ Decision Day regular-season finale Nov.
