Sets up goal in win
Osorio assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Saturday's 2-0 victory against New York Red Bulls.
Analysis: Osorio went straight back into the lineup after serving his suspension and lasted the full 90 minutes of a 2-0 win at the New York Red Bulls. The captain made his mark late on with a quick through ball that sent Daniel Salloi through for the second goal. The Canadian's fourth assist of the MLS season snapped a run of nine appearances (six starts) without a goal contribution, though he is yet to score in the league this year. He also did plenty of defending as the Red Bulls had most of the ball, with season highs of four interceptions and six clearances.
Returns from suspension
Osorio has served his one-match suspension for yellow card accumulation and is eligible to return for Saturday's MLS clash against New York Red Bulls.
Analysis: Osorio missed Wednesday's matchup against Orlando after receiving a yellow card for his conduct following the previous match Saturday, rather than for an incident during play. The midfielder has now completed his suspension and should be back in contention for a starting role against New York Red Bulls. His return provides Toronto with an additional option in midfield as the team prepares for its next league fixture.
Suspended against Orlando
Osorio is suspended for Wednesday's clash with Orlando due to yellow card accumulation.
Analysis: Osorio won't be an option for Wednesday's clash. The midfielder is out with a suspension after picking up a yellow card after Saturday's clash. It's a tough blow as he wasn't shown the card during the match it was for conduct after. Osorio will be available for Saturday's trip to RBNY.
Available off bench Saturday
Osorio (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's game versus St. Louis City.
Analysis: Osorio should be able to make a gradual return to action now that he's ready to play following over a month on the sidelines. The midfielder will be expected to compete for playing time with current starters Alonso Coello and Niklas Dorsch later in the season if he avoids further setbacks.
Fully training
Osorio (knee) is back in full training, according to John Molinaro of TFC Republic.
Analysis: Osorio has been out close to a month but appears to be close to his return, as the midfielder is back fully training. This could mean the club gains back a regular midfielder soon, starting in all 17 of his appearances this season. A return could then come in any of their upcoming matches, a bright sign for Toronto.
Sidelined once again
Osorio (knee) won't play Wednesday against Charlotte FC, John Molinaro of TFC Republic reports.
Analysis: Osorio will miss a second consecutive match due to a knee injury, and it wouldn't be surprising if the veteran midfielder spends more time on the sidelines. As long as Osorio remains out, Alonso Coello should step in as his replacement in midfield.
Ruled out with knee injury
Osorio (knee) will not be available for the match against New England after suffering a knee injury in training, according to coach Robin Fraser, per Waking The Red.
Analysis: Osorio's absence is not expected to be a long term issue, offering some reassurance for Toronto FC. The midfielder is an undisputed starter, contributing 3 assists across 17 MLS appearances this season, making his absence a notable one even on a short term basis. Alonso Coello is expected to step into his role in midfield until Osorio's return.
Clears suspension
Osorio is no longer suspended after serving his one match ban during Thursday's 0-0 draw against Montreal.
Analysis: Osorio's card accumulation ban briefly cost Toronto its starting central midfielder, with Alonso Coello stepping into a bigger role in his absence during the scoreless draw. As an undisputed regular in the middle of the park, Osorio should immediately regain his starting spot now that the suspension is served, giving Toronto back its usual midfield structure as the club looks to build momentum in the games following the World Cup break.
Suspended one game
Osorio will serve a one-match ban due to yellow card accumulation and will miss the clash against Montreal on July 16 following the World Cup break, according to the league.
Analysis: Osorio is an undisputed starter in the engine room for Toronto and his absence will force a reshuffle in midfield, with Alonso Coello expected to take on a larger leading role in the engine room for that clash. Osorio is set to return to the starting lineup once the ban has been served and MLS action continues after the tournament.
Assists for equalizer
Osorio assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and three chances created in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Charlotte FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 83rd minute.
Analysis: Osorio assisted Derrick Etienne's equalizer in the 22nd minute. He completed 59 passes and made three tackles but conceded a penalty after wrestling Morrison Agyemang to the ground in the 83rd minute. Osorio has now provided two assists in the last three games.
Provides assist on Saturday
Osorio assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus San Jose Earthquakes. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 75th minute.
Analysis: Osorio provided an assist for the team's only goal in the match. It was his second assist in the league campaign. Osorio also had a shot, but it was not on target.
