TORONTO—It may be looking for a silver lining, but Toronto FC coach Greg Vanney says Alejandro Pozuelo missing Sunday’s visit by the San Jose Earthquakes may not be such a bad thing.
The Spanish playmaker, suspended in the wake of two ill-tempered yellows cards in the 3-0 weekend loss at Salt Lake City, has not had a break since coming to MLS in March straight from his season in Belgium.
“He’ll never admit it because players love to play and they want to play all the time and they want to help their teams but I do think — and I talked to him about it — this is a good week for him to be able to kind of catch his breath a little bit,” said Vanney.
