Going through the health of Toronto FC players has become a ritual of late at coach Bob Bradley availabilities. It usually takes a while.
“Who are we thinking about?” Bradley said in the buildup to Saturday’s game at Austin FC. “It’s easier if you give me a name.”
There’s a lot to remember.
Toronto (2-4-7) is missing nine players through injury or suspension with another three questionable, according to the club’s injury report. That total includes five starters: defenders Matt Hedges and Sigurd Rosted and midfielders Michael Bradley, Jonathan Osorio and Mark-Anthony Kaye.
The five have a combined 1,056 MLS regular-season and playoff games between them including Rosted, who new to the league this season accounts for just 11 of that total.
