Lazar Stefanovic - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

On bench after injury recovery Stefanovic (foot) has made the match squad as a substitute option Saturday versus Nashville.

Impact Stefanovic is available for selection in a first-team match for the first time since May, having already made a few appearances at the MLS Next Pro level. However, he had been given limited playing time even before his injury, so it could be expected for him to remain a secondary asset going forward, especially when players like Walker Zimmerman (suspension) and Benjamin Kuscevic (international duty) are back with the squad.

Still out for time being Stefanovic (foot) remains out for the time being and continues to be listed on the MLS injury report, according to the league.

Impact Stefanovic has been sidelined since suffering a broken fifth metatarsal, an injury that was expected to keep him out for around eight to 10 weeks, with his return realistically targeted for sometime after the World Cup break. His continued absence keeps Toronto's defense further shorthanded, with the club already managing injuries to other back line options, and his recovery timeline will remain worth tracking as the club navigates this stretch.

Will miss multiple weeks Stefanovic (foot) suffered a broken fifth metatarsal and is expected to be sidelined for around eight to 10 weeks, according to John Molinaro of TFC Republic.

Impact Manager Robin Fraser confirmed the injury, meaning Toronto will be without another body on defense -- a line that's already missing Matheus Pereira (groin) and Benjamin Kuscevic (groin). Stefanovic should be able to return to action at some point after the World Cup.

Foot injury confirmed Stefanovic is out for the time being due to a foot injury, per the MLS Player Status Report.

Impact Stefanovic is a new addition to Toronto's already extensive injury report this matchday, and at this point, the club's injury situation has become one of the defining stories of the MLS season. He's a midfielder who has contributed in rotation for the club without being a regular fantasy starter. No timetable has been given, and Toronto's injury list now stands at ten players out and one questionable.

Impact Stefanovic could have suffered an injury during his first MLS start of the season, but his exact status is still unclear. The event of a serious issue would add yet another problem to an injury-plagued Toronto squad, with rookie Micah Chisholm and the recently recovered Walker Zimmerman now emerging as the fittest options among central defenders.
