Available after suspension

Laryea is available for selection again after serving a one-match suspension during Saturday's MLS clash against the New York Red Bulls.

Analysis: Laryea missed Saturday's meeting with the New York Red Bulls after accumulating five yellow cards this season, triggering an automatic one-match ban. The versatile defender has been a regular option for Toronto across both full-back positions, contributing defensively through tackles and duels. With his suspension now completed, Laryea is eligible to reclaim his place in the starting lineup, potentially pushing Jackson Gilman back to the bench.

Suspended for yellow card accumulation

Laryea received his fifth yellow card of the season during Wednesday's 3-3 draw against Orlando City and will serve a one-match suspension Saturday against New York Red Bulls, according to the league.

Analysis: Laryea will miss Saturday's fixture after reaching the league's yellow card accumulation threshold Wednesday. The versatile defender has been one of Toronto's preferred full-back options this season, featuring on both sides of the back line and contributing through tackles and defensive duels. His absence should open the door for Jackson Gilman to return to the starting lineup on the right flank. Laryea will be available for selection again once he completes his one-match suspension.
