Starts Saturday Pozuelo is in the starting XI for Saturday's showdown with NYCFC.

Impact Pozuelo returns to the starting XI at the second try, after missing the midweek match. The fact he missed the midweek match makes it seem that he is likely back to full health. Pozuelo runs the Toronto midfield and is a big contributor to their limited offense.

Remains doubt for Saturday Pozuelo (leg) is considered day-to-day for Saturday's match against NYC FC, reports John Molinaro of TFC Republic.

Impact Pozuelo was day-to-day midweek and he failed to make the squad. He's missed the last two matches and without an upgrade in his status, there's a decent chance he remains out Saturday against NYC FC, pointing to another start for Jonathan Osorio.

Day-to-day Pozuelo (leg) is considered "day-to-day" ahead of Wednesday's trip to Philadelphia, according to interim head coach Javier Perez via Steve Buffery of the Toronto Sun.

Impact Pozuelo will be a game-time call after missing Sunday's draw with Nashville. He's only played in eight games this season but does have two assists, so his health is the biggest impediment on his production at the moment.

Out against Nashville Pozuelo is not in the team Sunday against Nashville as a precautionary measure for some discomfort in his leg, interim manager Javier Perez revealed before the match.

Impact Pozuelo's absence is a massive blow to the side, especially on short notice, as he's gone a full 90 in each of the last four contests. Michael Bradley moved more forward in his place Sunday, though better for Toronto is that some guys are back from international duty, namely Jonathan Osorio, who is on the bench.

Takes two shots against Chicago Pozuelo took two shots (off target) and created three chances in Saturday's 2-1 win over Chicago.

Impact Pozuelo did create three chances, but no goals came directly from them in addition to Chicago having most of the chances in this game. He has two assists through eight appearances (six starts) thus far this season. Yeferson Soteldo shares some set piece duties and provides his own offensive impact, but Pozuelo's value should still remain strong especially with a healthy Toronto attack. Toronto's next game will come Sunday as the club hosts Nashville.

Takes four shots in draw Pozuelo took four shots (one on goal) and created two chances during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Orlando City.

Impact Pozuelo has provided two assists in four starts this season but his value is slightly dampened by sharing set piece duties with Yeferson Soteldo. If the entire attack finds its grove now that nearly everyone is healthy and available, Pozuelo's value should still remain strong.

Logs assist in win Pozuelo provided one assist from two chances created and took three shots (two on goal) during Wednesday's 3-2 win over New England.

Impact Pozuelo seems to be finding his groove after missing the beginning of the season due to injury as he's recorded assists in his last two completed starts. With the return of Yeferson Soteldo following the Copa America, watch out for what he and Pozuelo can do after struggling in the early stages fo the campaign. Up next is a match against Orlando City.

Makes bench Saturday Pozuelo (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's match against D.C.

Impact Pozuelo is back in the squad Saturday after missing last week's match with a hamstring issue. He'll probably come off the bench at some point against D.C., but on a short week, there's no guarantee he'll be ready to start Wednesday's trip to New England.

JULY 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Making progress Pozuelo (hamstring) is listed as "questionable, but promising" for Saturday's trip to D.C. United, according to manager Chris Armas via John Molinaro of TFC Republic.

Impact Pozuelo didn't seem as likely to play yesterday, so the manager could be throwing listeners off the scent as to how fit he is. Unless he starts, look to Michael Bradley to take on a bigger role in taking set pieces this weekend.

JULY 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Likely out Saturday Pozuelo (hamstring) is likely to miss Saturday's match at D.C. United, manager Chris Armas told the Toronto Sun on Wednesday.

Impact Pozuelo has already missed one match with his newest injury and is likely to miss a second without making improvements in his fitness over the rest of the week. Look to a bigger role for Michael Bradley as long as Pozuelo isn't fully healthy.

JUNE 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Still needs more tests Pozuelo (hamstring) has been undergoing tests and will likely be a game time decision for Saturday's match against FC Cincinnati, manager Chris Armas told the media Friday.

Impact Pozuelo only lasted to halftime in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Nashville before he had to be withdrawn. He's only played in three games so far this season and all have ended in defeat. If Pozuelo can't play Saturday, Noble Okello could get another start and Michael Bradley should take on a bigger role in set pieces and creating chances.

JUNE 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Taken off with hamstring tightness Pozuelo was subbed off at halftime of Wednesday's match against Nashville because of hamstring tightness, according to Michael Singh of Waking the Red.

Impact Pozuelo was making only his second start of the season after dealing with a thigh injury that held him out of MLS play until May 29, and given the short turnaround between games, he seems unlikely to be ready for Saturday's match against FC Cincinnati. If he's unable to play, Michael Bradley could take on a bigger role in the attack, including on set pieces.

JUNE 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

First assist of season Pozuelo had an assist while taking three shots (zero on goal), crossing eight times (Two accurate) and creating six chances during Saturday's 3-2 loss to Orlando.

Impact Pozuelo set up Jonathan Osorio in the 39th minute, assisting Toronto's second goal of the match. The assist was the first of the season for the midfielder as he led Toronto in both crosses and chances created in the loss.

Plays off bench in return Saturday Pozuelo played 35 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Columbus Crew.

Impact Pozuelo turned in a solid 35-minute shift off the bench in his return and season debut. This was promising and he could be ready for a start after the break. With 23 goals and 19 assists over the past two years his upside would immediately spike as soon as he returns to full time role.

MAY 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Available against Columbus Pozuelo (thigh) is available and will be used in "some degree" against Columbus on Saturday, according to head coach Chris Armas.

Impact Pozuelo is set to make his season debut Saturday, which comes just before the international break. It's a good sign for Toronto and if all goes well, he'll get back his fitness over the break and then again be an option to start once play resumes in late June.

Expected to train next week Pozuelo (thigh) is expected to return to full training next week, according to manager Chris Armas.

Impact Pozuelo has yet to appear this season because of a muscle injury, but it looks like he's getting close. There's a chance he makes the squad for the May 29 contest, but a bench appearance is most likely, especially with the international break after that.
