Toronto FC loses Palacio for rest of 2026 season

Thigh surgery followed specialist assessments

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Sep 171 min read

What happened: Palacio underwent thigh surgery after further specialist assessments, ending his availability for Toronto FC's 2026 run. He had been listed as reconditioning on the club's availability report for Orlando City.

Why it matters: That leaves Toronto FC thinner in midfield during the MLS regular-season stretch. The club also listed Djordje Mihailovic and Jonathan Osorio out for Orlando City, further cutting into its options.

By the numbers: Toronto FC listed three players out for Orlando City: Djordje Mihailovic (lower body), Jonathan Osorio (knee), and Palacio (reconditioning).

What to watch: Watch Toronto FC's midfield rotation against Orlando City and the club's next availability report on Mihailovic and Osorio.
