Practice

Suddenly Shorthanded





Toronto FC arrived in Kansas City on Friday evening without Martin Saric and Amadou Sanyang. The midfield duo will miss Saturday’s match against the Wizards at Community America Ballpark due to injury.




Saric remains sidelined with a quad strain and hasn’t played since coming off at half time in the 1-0 win over Colorado Rapids on July 10. Sanyang has concussion-like symptoms after taking a knock to the head in last week’s 1-1 tie against FC Dallas at BMO Field.




Defender Ty Harden also stayed home when the team left Toronto for a two-match road trip on Friday afternoon. The former LA Galaxy SuperDraft pick is still out with a left calf strain picked up in training on the day before the Carlsberg Cup friendly against Bolton Wanderers.




Fuad Ibrahim is not with the team in Kansas City. He is away with the United States Under 20s at the Milk Cup in Northern Ireland. Ibrahim played a key role in the squad as the Americans won all three of their matches at the tournament which ended on Friday.




Toronto FC Academy defender Doneil Henry has travelled with the squad to Kansas City. Although he cannot play in MLS action, he has been added to the team’s roster of available players for Tuesday’s CONCACAF Champions League match in Honduras against Motagua.
