Sergio Santos missing time in preseason because of an injury is not new — he’s missed time in each of his two previous preseasons — but news Wednesday that he’ll miss a couple weeks with a ligament tear in his big toe raises questions about the striking corps heading into Champions League play in less than a month.
“He’ll miss a couple of weeks, unfortunately, which is going to hurt, but at the same time, he’s disappointed but he’s also attacking his rehab quickly and now the hope is that he bounces back a little bit quicker,” head coach Jim Curtin said in his weekly presser on Wednesday.
