What happened: The club said Friday the procedure was successful after Dorsch was injured in Wednesday's match. He scored a 90th-minute equalizer in a 3-3 draw before exiting.

Why it matters: The injury interrupts a strong opening month following his July 28 signing. Toronto had just ended a 13-match winless run before Wednesday's draw.

By the numbers: Dorsch scored in consecutive matches, including Wednesday's 90th-minute equalizer.

What to watch: Toronto's next medical update could clarify Dorsch's recovery timeline and availability.
