TORONTO - Midfielder Jonathan Osorio, who has missed Toronto FC’s last four games, revealed Thursday he has been dealing with what he called a “neurological dysfunction” that dates back some two months.
The 30-year-old Osorio, a key component for both Toronto and Canada, says the problems started when he took an elbow to the head from Chicago Fire star Xherdan Shaqiri in a July 13 game. That blow to the left side of his head resulted in his jaw not being aligned properly and led to neurological issues.
“At first it seemed like a concussion. It was giving me concussion symptoms,” he said.
