John Herdman Confirms Toronto FC’s Absences
For this match, Toronto FC has two confirmed absences, with Nicksoen Gomis and Henry Wingo both unavailable due to their respective injuries. These are significant defensive losses for the team, and John Herdman will have to address these gaps and aim to put out the best possible version of Toronto FC.
Additionally, there are three players who are considered questionable for this match: Lorenzo Insigne, Kevin Long, and Jonathan Osorio. However, in the pre-match press conference, John Herdman made it clear that these players will get minutes against Colorado Rapids, but they will be closely managed to avoid any muscular or physical issues during the game.
On the other hand, Colorado Rapids also have two key players ruled out for this match: Kevin Cabral and Sam Vines. Both are injured and unavailable, which is a blow for the team. Sam Vines is Colorado’s starting left-back and a crucial player for the Western Conference side, while Kevin Cabral is a highly difficult forward to contain. Fortunately for Toronto FC, Cabral will miss the match due to an elbow injury.
This match promises to be a thrilling spectacle for MLS fans, but it will be especially nerve-wracking for Toronto FC supporters, who are hoping to see their team put in a brilliant performance and come away with a vital win.
