Toronto FC needs a win, not another self-inflicted wound.
But this week’s welcome news that Spanish playmaker Alejandro Pozuelo is expected to make his season debut Saturday at Columbus (2-2-2) has been overshadowed by news that fellow designated player Jozy Altidore is on the outs with the club.
ESPN reported Friday that the star striker had been told to train on his own, away from the first team, after confronting coach Chris Armas in the wake of being substituted in the 70th minute of last Saturday’s 1-0 loss at Orlando City.
It’s been that kind of season for Toronto (1-3-2), which has taken steps forward only to stumble backwards.
