CINCINNATI - Toronto FC coach Javier Perez felt his side had a hard time adjusting to the unexpected absence of their designated player.
TFC was without Spanish playmaker Alejandro Pozuelo Saturday. The team said he experienced lower-body discomfort in training Thursday and he was kept out of the match as a precaution.
Last-place Toronto FC went on to lose 2-0 to FC Cincinnati at TQL Stadium.
“This is one of the situations that we have the MVP of last season, that he was ready to play this game, and the last day right before travelling, he got this injury that takes him out of the game,” said Perez.
