Toronto FC will be without star strikers Sebastian Giovinco and Jozy Altidore for Saturday’s game in Los Angeles against the Galaxy.
Coach Greg Vanney said neither will travel Thursday to avoid exacerbating issues that caused both to leave Saturday’s 4-0 win over San Jose.
“We’re not going to take them across the country at this point,” Vanney said. “(We’ll) give them a few days to progress and reassess when we get back for Wednesday.”
After facing Los Angeles (7-14-6), league-leading Toronto (17-3-8) hosts the Montreal Impact (10-11-6) next Wednesday before heading to New England for a Saturday match with the Revolution (10-12-5).
