TFC's Richie Laryea expected to be out for a month with thigh injury
The Toronto FC fullback should be able to play for Canada at the 2026 FIFA World Cup if all goes well.
Toronto FC’s mounting injury crisis keeps getting worse as veteran fullback Richie Laryea is expected to be out of action with a thigh injury, the club confirmed on Saturday.
Laryea played the full 90 minutes in Wednesday’s 3-3 draw vs. the Philadelphia Union but was ruled out for Saturday's game at BMO Field that saw TFC lose 2-1 to Atlanta United.
“Richie felt some discomfort after [Wednesday’s match]. We had the opportunity to kind of give him a little bit of time off and get some imaging done. And so, at the moment, he's dealing with a thigh injury that we think is probably about a month to return to play,” GM Jason Hernandez said on Saturday.
