TORONTO - Veteran midfielder Jonathan Osorio finally was able to detail what has kept him sidelined for all but 18 minutes of Toronto FC’s last seven games of the season.
“The diagnosis is post-concussion syndrome,” he said.
Previously Osorio had cited a “neurological dysfunction” arising from an elbow to the head in a July 13 loss at Chicago. Reporters had asked the club for a more detailed medical report, but that was not forthcoming.
On Wednesday, at the team’s end-of-season availability, Osorio clarified his comments to say post-concussion syndrome was causing the neurological dysfunction.
Osorio was checked at halftime of the Chicago game and allowed to continue.
