Djordje Mihailovic out eight weeks with pelvic fracture

Toronto FC will be without midfielder Djordje Mihailovic for an extended stretch after the club confirmed he has been diagnosed with a pelvic stress fracture.

The injury is expected to sideline Mihailovic for approximately eight weeks, removing a key piece from Toronto’s midfield as the team continues its early-season schedule.

Mihailovic had already missed recent action, including Toronto’s 3-2 win over the Colorado Rapids, where he did not feature against his former club. At the time, the extent of the issue was unclear. The diagnosis now provides a timeline but also underscores the impact of his absence.

The 27-year-old has been an important part of Toronto’s attacking structure, offering creativity between the lines and the ability to connect midfield and forward play. His absence leaves a gap in both ball progression and chance creation, particularly as the team looks to build consistency in the final third.

Toronto FC has shown positive signs in recent matches, including a four-game points streak and an unbeaten run at home that now extends to 10 matches dating back to last season. However, Mihailovic’s injury introduces a new challenge in maintaining that momentum.

Head coach Robin Fraser has already rotated his midfield options in recent games, with players like José Cifuentes and Alonso Coello stepping into larger roles.
