Toye first injured his shoulder on August 8, 2021. He was about to join his teammates in training camp this winter when he tore an adductor on the artificial turf at Olympic Stadium.

“I was a day or two away from rejoining the team and I tore my adductor which came off the bone. I didn't think it would be so severe, ”he confessed.

“The good news is that it was on the left side and I scored my two goals since my return with the left foot, it means that we did the rehabilitation in the right way. »

Welcome back

Because yes, he finally returned to the game and took the opportunity to score twice on his first start in a victory against the Seattle Sounders at the end of June.

Since his return to the game, he has participated in five meetings, including two as a starter.

"I have already scored two goals and we have accumulated three wins, I would say it's successful," analyzed the 23-year-old American.

Healthy competition

If Toye has only had two starts in five games, it's because CF Montreal wants to manage his comeback, but also because he has to fight with Romell Quioto and Kei Kamara to get minutes on offense.

This is not a situation that bothers him, quite the contrary. He assures that it is an ideal environment.

"There is competition within the group, but that's what we want. There is fluidity in a season. It depends in particular on the matches and how the guys behave.

"You have to earn your minutes in training and it's fantastic to be in a team where that's possible and maybe because we don't have a big name designated player. You have to work to be in the squad, there is no one who is there because of a big salary. »
