Returns to bench O'Neill (head) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with San Jose.

Impact O'Neill is back on the bench as he returns from a head injury. The defender was in training earlier in the week, giving him a chance to come back into the first team. The defender will hope to make his season debut after injuries plagued him from the end of pre-season.

Returns to training O'Neill (head) was back in training with Toronto FC on Wednesday, TFC Republic's John Molinaro reports ahead of the clash against the Earthquakes this weekend.

Impact O'Neill has been dealing with recurring headache problems and he's yet to feature for Toronto this season, but he visited a specialist for the issue last week and it seems like that has helped as he's now returned to training.

Visits specialist O'Neill (head) is "doing better" and has returned to training with Toronto after visiting a specialist for his headaches, according to manager Bob Bradley on Friday.

Impact O'Neill is hoping to be available for the San Jose match next weekend, as recurring headaches have prevented him from playing so far this season.

Ruled out with headaches O'Neill will miss Saturday's clash against Inter Miami due to headaches, according to Toronto's injury report for the game.

Impact O'Neill has a history of head injuries, so the hope is that this issue doesn't linger for too long. He hasn't been in training with the team and is yet to make his season debut in MLS.

Makes two blocks in season finale O'Neill made two blocks, two clearances and an interception in Sunday's 4-0 Decision Day defeat against the Union.

Impact O'Neill ended his first campaign in Toronto with one assist in 26 MLS appearances (21 starts) in central defense, but he did not keep a single clean sheet. The 29-year-old was splitting time fairly evenly with Lukas MacNaughton and Chris Mavinga for the most part this season, but the latter might not return to the club in 2023.

Busy defensively in loss O'Neill made three tackles (two won), three clearances, one interception and one block, drew three fouls and was shown a yellow card during Wednesday's 2-0 loss against Chiacgo.

Impact O'Neill was one of the few positives from his side on the defensive end, not being directly involved on the goals scored by the opposition and winning a lot of duels to help his side remain in contention. However, the center back picked up his fourth yellow card and is just one caution away from a one-match ban. Up next for O'Neill is Saturday's visit to Montreal.

Records assist against Cincinnati O'Neill assisted a goal and made five clearances in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against FC Cincinnati. He also made an interception in the match.

Impact O'Neill set up a Jesus Jimenez goal Saturday for his first assist in MLS since 2014. Next up for him is a rematch against Cincinnati on Wednesday.

Joins Toronto O'Neill has signed a three-year contract with Toronto FC, the club announced Wednesday.

Impact O'Neill kept four clean sheets in 20 MLS starts last season with the Sounders, but the 28-year-old now moves to Toronto, where he will challenge Kemar Lawrence, Chris Mavinga and Eriq Zavaleta for a center back spot to replace the departing Omar Gonzalez. Toronto had the second-worst defensive record in MLS in 2021, and O'Neill has a big task ahead of him to help get the club back on track.

Creates two chances in playoff loss O'Neill took a shot and created two chances in last week's 0-0 (6-5 after penalties) Round One defeat against Real Salt Lake. He also made two clearances and won one of one tackles...

Impact O'Neill and Seattle were upset in penalties by No. 7 seed Salt Lake, and his season ends with four clean sheets and a goal in 28 MLS appearances (20 starts). He seemed to be the backup option for the Sounders' back-three when Nouhou Tolo was healthy.

Scores goal against Vancouver O'Neill scored a goal and won one of two tackles in Saturday's 4-1 victory against the Whitecaps. He also made four clearances, three interceptions and a block in the match.

Impact O'Neill opened the scoring Saturday with a header and was solid on defense for the remainder of his side's comfortable, playoff-clinching win. He will want to have a similar impact next weekend against the Dynamo, which have scored 33 goals in 29 matches this season.

OCTOBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Own goal in win O'Neill scored an own goal during Wednesday's 3-1 win over San Jose.

Impact O'Neill provided all of San Jose's offense during Wednesday's match, a dubious honor in what really should have been a shut out. The defender has next to no fantasy upside and isn't a real option in any format. Next up is a Sunday clash with Colorado.

Stays in starting XI O'Neill (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Columbus.

Impact O'Neill came off early a few days ago, but it looks like he's good to go and starting again Saturday. When healthy, he's been in the XI and that should remain the case going forward, though he doesn't have a clean sheet since May, partly because he's been subbed off early a few times this season.

AUGUST 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off injured against Dallas O'Neill was subbed out of Wednesday's victory against FC Dallas in the 75th minute after suffering an apparent injury. He made a block and five clearances in the match before being...

Impact O'Neill was defending well on Wednesday and was on his way to a clean sheet before he came off. It is unclear whether he will be forced to miss additional game time due to his potential injury. Yeimar Gomez should return to the XI and can replace him in the back three on Saturday if necessary.

AUGUST 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Starts Saturday O'Neill is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with San Jose.

Impact O'Neill has recovered quickly and is straight back in the starting XI. The defender will line up on the right side of the back-three, a familiar position. O'Neill's fitness is in question, so don't be surprised if Seattle are cautious with the defender.

Improving in recovery O'Neill is "doing better" in his recovery but manager Brian Schmetzer has said the team will be cautious in managing his return, according to Jeremiah Oshan of SB Nation.

Impact O'Neill picked up an injury early in July and it's not clear what's ailing him or how long his recovery will take. The impending returns of Nouhou Tolo and Xavier Arreaga's availability will help to make up for O'Neill's absence until he's seen on the field again.

No timeline to return O'Neill missed Thursday's game against Houston with an undisclosed injury and doesn't have a timeline to return, according to manager Brian Schmetzer.

Impact O'Neill has been a regular in the back line this season, starting eight matches, so he'll need to be replaced if out for a significant period. For now, it's expected he'll miss a couple weeks, though the type of injury hasn't revealed. Fortunately for Seattle, Xavier Arreaga returned to the squad against Houston and will take O'Neill's spot in the XI.
