Nets late winner
Mihailovic scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-1 victory over CF Montreal.
Analysis: Mihailovic marked his return from injury with a decisive winner in the 96th minute assisted by Theo Corbeanu. Mihailovic played only 29 minutes and recorded 10 passes, created a chance and covered almost four kilometers. This was his eighth goal contribution of the campaign.
Back in contention against Montreal
Mihailovic (hamstring) is absent from Toronto FC's latest injury report ahead of Saturday's MLS clash against CF Montreal, suggesting he has recovered sufficiently to return to contention following a four-match absence.
Analysis: Mihailovic is closing in on his return to competitive action after missing Toronto's last four matches with a hamstring injury. The attacking midfielder had been progressing toward a comeback, and his omission from the injury report is an encouraging indication of his availability for Saturday's derby. He has recorded two goals and five assists across 12 MLS appearances this season, including nine starts, establishing himself as an important creative presence. With Toronto having lost its last three matches in his absence, Mihailovic's potential return to the starting lineup would provide a timely attacking boost, although his minutes could be managed following his spell on the sidelines.
Could return Saturday
Mihailovic (hamstring) has a good chance of being available for Saturday's home match against Montreal, coach Robin Fraser said Wednesday, per John Molinaro of TFC Republic.
Analysis: Mihailovic looks set to be back in contention for Saturday's derby after four matches out. He has two goals and five assists in 12 MLS appearances this season, nine of them starts, and had assisted twice in the match in which he was injured. Toronto lost their last three matches in his absence, and his return is timely with the club needing results over the final seven matches to reach the playoffs.
Absence confirmed
Mihailovic (hamstring) is out for Saturday's match against Nashville, according to manager Robin Fraser, per John Molinaro of TFC Republic.
Analysis: Mihailovic was expected to miss a few weeks as he recovered from a hamstring injury, and that has been further confirmed, with the midfielder announced as out. This will be his fourth straight game out for him, having been a rough season all-around due to his constant injuries. He has started in nine of his 12 appearances when fit this season, while bagging two goals and five assists, so the club will be anticipating his return.
Facing couple more weeks out
Mihailovic (hamstring) is progressing in his recovery but faces a couple more weeks out, coach Robin Fraser said, per Toronto FC News Outlet. "It's progressing. When we 1st heard about the injury, we knew it'd be a couple of weeks so I haven't really checked. It's only been about 2 weeks? I do know it'll be a couple more weeks."
Analysis: Mihailovic sustained the hamstring injury in the Chicago draw and was never expected back inside a short window, so the latest assessment reads as confirmation of the original plan. He was pictured working alone the previous day, which indicates the recovery is moving, and the club's number 10 will likely need a stretch of full team training before selection becomes realistic. His absence continues to remove Toronto's main source of chance creation, having contributed two goals and five assists in the league this season.
Training alone
Mihailovic (hamstring) is training individually, according to John Molinaro of TFC Republic.
Analysis: Mihailovic has been out for a week now and is expected to miss more time, but is already off to a good start in his recovery, as the midfielder was already moving well as he trained individually. This is a good sign, as it could mean his return could be coming sooner than expected. This would be a major boost for the club and players after his injury issues this season, as he has only featured in 19 games (nine starts), but still has two goals and five assists.
Will miss multiple weeks
Mihailovic will miss several weeks due to a hamstring injury, according to Waking the Red.
Analysis: Mihailovic was injured and subbed out in the 79th minute of Saturday's 4-4 draw against Chicago Fire after recording two assists, and the playmaker will end up missing multiple games after undergoing tests to determine the extent of the injury. Mihailovic is key for Toronto, racking up two goals and five assists in 12 appearances (nine starts) this season. Niklas Dorsch (face), who's set to return Wednesday, should have a bigger role in the playmaking department with Mihailovic out.
Logs two assists
Mihailovic was injured and subbed out in the 79th minute of Saturday's 4-4 draw against Chicago Fire. He assisted twice to go with two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and four corners before exiting the match.
Analysis: Mihailovic was able to set up two of Toronto's four goals, and the forward was on point with most of his creation attempts. He'll try to find some gaps against a stiff Nashville SC defense which has only conceded 17 goals across 23 MLS games this season.
Set to return from ban
Mihailovic has served his MLS suspension, becoming eligible for upcoming matches.
Analysis: Mihailovic is a major playmaking threat and set-piece taker, so his comeback should imply a big boost to the squad's attacking quality. If he makes the starting XI right away, it may push Markus Cimermancic either to a more defensive role or to the bench. Mihailovic also missed part of the season with a pelvic injury, but he's now ready to add to his numbers of two goals and three assists over nine league appearances (six starts).
Sent off after assist in win
Mihailovic delivered an assist but received a red card during Saturdays's 2-1 win over New England Revolution.
Analysis: Mihailovic set up Niklas Dorsch through a backwards pass in first-half stoppage time, but his dismissal later in the match ruined an otherwise quiet fantasy outing. The creative midfielder is now forced to serve a one-match ban in the midweek matchup versus Charlotte, so his next chance to play will come in a subsequent visit to Inter Miami. A more defensive-minded Alonso Coello might be the most direct replacement among the current available options.
Saves team from loss
Mihailovic scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Friday's 1-1 draw versus New York City FC.
Analysis: Mihailovic's goal salvaged a point for Toronto on Friday in his first since his injury. The midfielder recently returned from a pelvic fracture and has appeared in just eight matches in 2026, making five starts while recording two goals and two assists.
Four shots as reserve
Mihailovic recorded four shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus D.C. United.
Analysis: Mihailovic has logged three reserve appearances this season, with Saturday marking his latest. He has made more of an impact than the average sub, with five shots (three on goal), four crosses (three accurate) and three corners across his three sub appearances. Mihailovic also logged Toronto's team-high in shots Saturday. Considering that Mihailovic was a regular starter before an injury took a toll on his availability, there may be a chance he gets promoted if the Toronto team continues its struggles while he exceeds substitute expectations.
Available, set for minutes
Mihailovic will be available and is likely to see minutes on Saturday against DC United, according to coach Robin Fraser, per John Molinaro.
Analysis: Mihailovic missed the last match against New England Revolution, though the reason for his absence has not been disclosed. His return to availability is a boost for the attack ahead of the weekend fixture. Mihailovic is expected to be back involved as the club continues preparations for Saturday's match against DC United.
Fit for Thursday
Mihalilovic (pelvis) is on the bench for Thursday's match against Montreal.
Analysis: Mihailovic trained coming into Thursday's match, and that was enough for the attacker to be considered fit to face their Canadian rival. This is good news after a starting role to start the season, falling out of place due to the injury absence. He will now look to return to that role as he builds fitness, starting in all 10 of his appearances after joining the club during the 2025 campaign.
Returns to full training
Mihailovic (pelvis) appears to have taken part in full training, according to John Molinaro of TFC Republic.
Analysis: Mihailovic's return to full training marks a positive step in his recovery and points toward a possible timeline for his season debut. The playmaker's creativity and set piece delivery will be a welcome boost once available for selection. A formal return to matchday contention is expected to follow further evaluation in the coming days.
