Reds hope pain of the first half is behind them

Reinforcements are on the way for an injury-plagued Toronto FC side that has struggled mightily over the first half of the Major League Soccer season.

The team is mired in a six-game winless skid and will need a strong second half to get back in the playoff mix. The long injury list includes Jozy Altidore (foot), Drew Moor (quad), Chris Mavinga (hamstring), Victor Vazquez (knee), Auro Jr. (hamstring) and Gregory van der Wiel (Achilles).

Jozy Altidore, who had foot surgery in early May, appears to be close to returning to Toronto FCu2019s lineup.

Specific player return dates had yet to be finalized after Monday’s practice in hot, muggy conditions at the team’s northwest Toronto training facility.
