Depleted by injuries and players away on international duty, Toronto FC coach Bob Bradley has dipped into his reserve team to make up numbers Saturday in San Jose.
Bradley has summoned a pair of midfielders — 18-year-old Markus Cimermancic and 23-year-old Alonso Coello Camarero — on short-term loans from Toronto FC II. TFC will be missing eight players, including five starters, for the game against the Earthquakes.
Toronto (1-1-2) has five players on international duty, with fullback Richie Laryea, midfielders Jonathan Osorio and Mark-Anthony Kaye and forward Ayo Akinola with Canada and backup goalkeeper Tomas Romero with El Salvador.
