Toronto FC’s nightmarish season took another turn for the worse Wednesday with news that goalkeeper Sean Johnson will be out four to six weeks with a broken hand.

The MLS team said Johnson was injured during training Tuesday and will be assessed this week by a hand specialist to determine if surgery is needed.

The 34-year-old ‘keeper, who joined Toronto before the season as a free agent from New York City FC, has a goals-against average of 1.16 in 19 league outings with six shutouts this season

Johnson, a U.S. international, is in his 14th MLS season. He was named MLS Cup MVP in 2021 with NYCFC and was an all-star last season.
