When Jozy Altidore limped off the bench to celebrate Toronto FC's return to the MLS Cup final last week, it looked like he might be dealing with an ankle injury that could cost him a place in the final. One week later, Altidore says he will be ready to go when Saturday's MLS Cup final rematch with the Seattle Sounders kicks off.
“It was good. I got to take part in the warm up and see how I was feeling. I felt okay,” Altidore told reporters during a conference call on Tuesday when asked about the injury. “Obviously, it won’t be perfect, but like I said on Wednesday night, it’s a big game, a one-off, and, with everything we put into this season, I’m going to put every right foot forward I can to make sure I’m in the team and playing that game.
