Why are Toronto FC dealing with so many injuries?

TORONTO, Canada—It’s no secret that Toronto FC have picked up an eye-opening amount of injuries this early into the 2021 Major League Soccer campaign.

On Saturday in the club’s season opener vs. CF Montreal, the team had eight players who were unavailable for selection, which is actually slightly better than their previous two matches of the 2021 campaign vs. Club León where they were down a staggering 10 first-team guys.

Latest Toronto FC Injury Report vs. CF Montreal

Ayo Akinola (Undisclosed)
Chris Mavinga (Left Calf)
Alejandro Pozuelo (Right Thigh)
Achara (Left ACL/LCL Surgery)
Julian Dunn (Right Hip Osteochondral Injury)
Jozy Altidore (Right Thigh)
Erickson Gallardo (Right Groin Surgery)
Jonathan Osorio (Right Thigh/Suspension)

The silver lining to take way from the extensive injury report is that only Achara and Dunn have been placed on the league’s ‘Injured List’, meaning they’ll miss a minimum of six MLS games before being eligible for selection.
