Toronto FC's winless start to the season is not attributed to goalkeeper Luka Gavran, according to head coach Robin Fraser. Following a 3-0 defeat to the Vancouver Whitecaps, Fraser praised Gavran's abilities, stating he remains integral to the team's long-term plans. Despite conceding six goals in his first two league matches, Gavran's shot-stopping skills have been highlighted as exceptional, with Fraser emphasizing that mistakes are typical for young goalkeepers adapting to the MLS. The club is committed to Gavran's development and has faith in his potential for improvement.

By the Numbers
  • Luka Gavran has conceded 6 goals across his first 2 league starts.
  • He made 4 saves in the match against the Whitecaps and 5 saves in the previous match against Dallas.
State of Play
