TORONTO, Canada—As if the odds weren’t stacked against Toronto FC enough, it appears the Reds will have to earn a result down in Mexico against Club Leon without their most valuable player: Alejandro Pozuelo.
According to Meixcan reporter Paco Montes of Fox Sports Mexico, Pozuelo is expected to miss the Concacaf Champions League Round of 16 opening leg on Wednesday due to injury.
As many TFC fans have pointed out, the No. 10 was absent from the brief highlight package released by the club following their preseason win over the Columbus Crew on April 1.
