Held out due to groin issues Petretta was held out from Saturday's match against New York City FC due to a groin injury, per John Molinaro of TFC Republic.

Impact Peretta is the latest player from Toronto to hit the injury list, as he went down with a groin injury last week ahead of Saturday's contest. The club has yet to give much information about the injury, so it is still unknown how severe the issue is or when he will return. We will now have to wait to see his availability ahead of Saturday's match against Atalanta, just hoping the player is available, as he started in the club's first three games of the season. However, if he is not an option, expect Sigurd Rosted to get the start again after replacing Peretta against NYCFC.
