Overview

  • Toronto FC captain Jonathan Osorio is sidelined for approximately two weeks due to a partially dislocated shoulder sustained in the Canadian Championship loss to CF Montreal.
  • Federico Bernardeschi's participation is uncertain as the team monitors his ankle stability to ensure it is safe for him to return to play.
  • Toronto has struggled at home this season, holding a 0-2-2 record at BMO Field, and has not secured a home win since September 2024.
  • The New England Revolution, Toronto's first opponent in May, boasts a three-match shutout streak and one of the best defensive records in MLS, conceding just seven goals in nine games.
  • Toronto’s seven-match May schedule, including six home games, is seen as pivotal for their season trajectory as they aim to climb the Eastern Conference standings.
