TorontoGroin absence carries over
Kuscevic is out for the time being due to a groin injury, per the MLS Player Status Report.
Analysis: Kuscevic has been absent for consecutive matchdays with this groin issue, and Toronto's backline continues to be shuffled. He's a central defender without major scoring upside. However, it does mark the loss of another regular starter.
Subbed off injured
Kuscevic was forced off in the first half of Saturday's clash against Atlanta United due to an apparent injury.
Analysis: Kuscevic was forced off in the 20th minute of Saturday's clash against Atlanta United due to an apparent injury and will undergo further tests in the coming days to determine the severity of the issue, though his potential absence should not be too damaging with Walker Zimmerman expected to return for the next match.
Starting during return
Kuscevic (groin) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Atlanta.
Analysis: Kuscevic overcame the injury that had brought an end to his run of five consecutive MLS starts, with the coaching staff clearing the Chilean to retake his place in the backline after his return timeline had been left uncertain in the days prior. The defender had been in decent form despite his side's defensive struggles, tallying at least three clearances in each of his appearances this season. His ability to recover in time is a welcome development for a side that had been managing without one of their key defensive starters.
