However, if he is sidelined again, Luka Gavran will get the go as starting keeper.

Begins light work Johnson (hand) is back on the grass as he begins to work on light work, per John Molinaro of the TFC Republic.

Impact Johnson has begun his rehab program since fracturing his hand back in August.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recovery longer than expected Johnson underwent surgery on his left hand Monday and is expected to be out between six to eight weeks, John Molinaro of TFC Republic reports.

Impact Johnson suffered a fractured hand in training last week, and while the recovery was expected to be around four to six weeks, the visit to a specialist in Atlanta resulted in a longer period on the sidelines. Based on the updated timeline, the earliest Johnson could return to action would be against Cincinnati on Sep. 30, though there's a chance he might not return until next year, especially if Toronto end up being eliminated from playoff contention before he's healthy. Expect Tomas Romero to remain as Toronto's starting goalkeeper for the foreseeable future.
