Achara’s return was one of the few positives for interim head coach Javier Perez on a night when his club’s five – game undefeated run was snapped. While unable to take part in Toronto’s 2020 season opener in San Jose on Feb. 29 because of red tape, he scored the next week to give TFC the win in its home opener.
Achara injured his knee in training May 26 at BMO Field when he became tangled with six-foot-five defender Omar Gonzalez while they attempted to get to a cross. It was one of the last plays of Toronto’s first team training session at its home stadium since the lockdown. “It wasn’t a great time to have that major injury and be away from home,” he said. “It wasn’t easy at all.”
