Richie Laryea - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Consistent starter for Toronto Laryea started in his 27 appearances for Toronto in the 2026 MLS season, notching two goals, one assist, 26 crosses, 44 tackles, 43 clearances and 26 interceptions.

Impact The Canadian international was a versatile presence for the Reds this season, notching 14 starts at right-back but also seeing time at left-back and in midfield. If he stays with Toronto for the 2027 season, he should remain one of the first names on the team sheet because of his two-way contributions from full-back.

Available after suspension Laryea is available for selection again after serving a one-match suspension during Saturday's MLS clash against the New York Red Bulls.

Impact Laryea missed Saturday's meeting with the New York Red Bulls after accumulating five yellow cards this season, triggering an automatic one-match ban. The versatile defender has been a regular option for Toronto across both full-back positions, contributing defensively through tackles and duels. With his suspension now completed, Laryea is eligible to reclaim his place in the starting lineup, potentially pushing Jackson Gilman back to the bench.

Impact Laryea will miss Saturday's fixture after reaching the league's yellow card accumulation threshold Wednesday. The versatile defender has been one of Toronto's preferred full-back options this season, featuring on both sides of the back line and contributing through tackles and defensive duels. His absence should open the door for Jackson Gilman to return to the starting lineup on the right flank. Laryea will be available for selection again once he completes his one-match suspension.

Returns from national team Laryea has served international duty and could play in Toronto's upcoming matches as he's not listed on the MLS availability report.

Impact Laryea is one of Toronto's favored full-back options, having played on both flanks this campaign, and he's likely to take over on the right side at the expense of Jackson Gilman. The team is in poor form after conceding multiple goals in each of their last three games, so Laryea may not be reliable for clean sheets. On the other hand, he can be productive in tackling duties and individual duels.

Joining Canada NT Laryea has been called up by Canada for the upcoming international break between September and October.

Impact Laryea is a veteran member of the Canadian national team, so it's not surprising to see him added to the roster, especially since Alphonso Davies won't be available due to his wedding and honeymoon. Laryea has started in 21 matches for Toronto in the 2026 MLS season and also made five starts at the World Cup this summer, so his place in the squad is pretty much set in stone as long as he's healthy. He'll miss the Sept. 26 match against Nashville SC but should be available to face CF Montreal on Oct. 10.

Ends WC in starting role Laryea recorded one cross (zero accurate) and one tackle in Saturday's 3-0 loss against Morocco. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 40th minute.

Impact Laryea got the start at left-back over Alphonso Davies in this match, but the Toronto FC full-back was unable to make a big impact on either end. Laryea started every game, though that was mostly due to Davies' fitness issues. He had five chances created, 10 tackles and two interceptions, so his fantasy appeal wasn't very high.

Notches four tackles Laryea generated four tackles (four won) in Sunday's 1-0 win against South Africa.

Impact Laryea was given the start for a fourth straight match on Sunday, with the defender getting 90 minutes at left-back. He would see some decent work in the defense with his four tackles won, earning a clean sheet in the process. He would commit a few fouls while also drawing a few, not his best or worst match ever.

Quiet off bench Laryea recorded no stats in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat to Switzerland.

Impact Laryea failed to get involved during his time on the pitch Wednesday. Laryea has created five chances in the group stage but just failed to accomplish much of anything throughout this match. This was a preview of the level Laryea and co. will face in what should be a very difficult knockout stage of the World Cup.

Creates pair of chances Laryea registered one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Friday's 1-1 draw versus Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Impact Laryea created a pair of chances during Friday's draw, showing his creativity even from full-back. He didn't get on the scoresheet but he likes to get forward even against defensive teams and can join the attack frequently. The question now will be if Canada can get a consistent attacking threat going in the coming matches, if so, Laryea could have some solid upside from the defense.

Features 32 minutes in return Laryea (thigh) played 32 minutes in Monday's 2-0 friendly victory over Uzbekistan before being substituted as a planned measure to manage his workload ahead of the World Cup.

Impact Laryea had been declared ready for full training by coach Jesse Marsch after a month out with a thigh issue, and his controlled appearance against Uzbekistan is exactly the kind of managed reintegration needed to get him match-sharp ahead of the tournament. The full-back could have an important role to play for Canada depending on the fitness of Alphonso Davies, and his appearance against Uzbekistan ensures he heads into the World Cup with some competitive minutes under his belt heading into the June 12 opener against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Impact Laryea is hopeful to return to action at the international level after being inactive for a month due to a thigh issue.
