Toronto FC depth to be tested some more in wake of Giovinco, Hagglund injuries
Toronto FC’s depth, which has helped Greg Vanney’s team to a franchise-record six wins in a row, is about to get tested some more.
After a hectic stretch of five games in 15 days, Toronto (7-1-4) was looking forward to a quiet week before Friday’s game at the New York Red Bulls. But things got more complicated for league-leading TFC on Monday with unwanted injury news about striker Sebastian Giovinco and defender Nick Hagglund.
Giovinco has been diagnosed with a quad strain and is expected to be out for up to three weeks.
The news is worse for Hagglund, who has a torn medial collateral ligament in his left knee. He is expected to miss eight to 12 weeks.
