TORONTO – Toronto FC says fullback/wingback Richie Laryea will be out four to six weeks with his latest hamstring injury.

The 30-year-old Canadian international has not played since March 1 when he was forced to leave 22 minutes into a 4-2 loss at Orlando City.

“Four to six weeks is not great but it’s not the worst thing in the world,” Toronto coach Robin Fraser said Friday.

Laryea saw a specialist in London, England, recently, for treatment and a diagnosis.

“Overall we felt like it was a positive stint,” said Fraser. “And again this club is so good at utilizing whatever resources we need to to get the players as healthy as quickly as possible.”

Laryea missed three months last season after going down in the season opener, subsequently undergoing surgery in March 2024 to repair the same hamstring in London, England, by Dr. Fares Haddad.
