In the initial month of the 2017 season, Sporting Kansas City coach Peter Vermes is yet to make a change to his starting lineup.
Some extenuating circumstances will test his uniformity Friday.
Three days before Sporting KC faces Toronto FC, Vermes was unsure exactly which weapons will be at his disposal. Midfielder Benny Feilhaber was sidelined at practice Tuesday because of a muscle strain in his leg, and Matt Besler and Graham Zusi are with the United States men’s national team, which plays a World Cup qualifier Tuesday in Panama.
All three players have started each of Sporting Kansas City’s first three matches this season.
