Toronto FC’s Pablo Piatti could miss rest of MLS regular season with calf strain

TORONTO, Canada—Toronto FC coach Greg Vanney has provided an update on the status of designated player Pablo Piatti, who missed out on the Reds’ 5-0 loss to Philadelphia Union with an undisclosed injury.

“Pablo is out for a little bit,” Vanney told media on Tuesday. “He’s got a calf strain, so ... we’re hoping to get him maybe by (New York) Red Bulls, but it could be just a playoff thing.”

The Argentine winger suffered the Grade 2 strain during a practice last Friday. According to the Toronto FC coach, the diagnosis is ‘a couple of weeks,’ meaning that it’s unlikely that he does take part in the regular-season finale at Red Bull Arena.
