Toronto FC midfielder Ralph Priso undergoes right ankle surgery

Sep 3, 2021 | 10:07 AM

Toronto FC midfielder Ralph Priso has undergone surgery for a season-ending ankle injury.

The MLS club said the operation took place Thursday at Toronto Western Hospital.

Priso was injured Aug. 14 in the second half of Toronto’s 2-1 home loss to the New England Revolution. He limped off after making a goal-line clearance in the 67th minute and had to be helped back to the locker room.

The saving play was for naught with the offside flag raised.

The 19-year-old Priso had just 15 MLS appearances under his belt, including 11 this season, but has turned heads with his play.

Toronto (3-13-6) plays next at FC Cincinnati (3-9-8) on Sept. 11 in a matchup of teams with the two worst records in the league.
