Though shorthanded, Sporting see light at end of tunnel
It’s been a tough few months for Sporting Kansas City, who have won just one league match in their last 10 and have been ravaged by a steady stream of injuries both major and minor.
So one can imagine manager Peter Vermes’ chagrin at seeing a bevy of international call-ups further decimate his squad this week as Sporting prepare to visit Toronto FC tonight at 6 p.m. CT.
“As the requests for international duty were coming in, at this point it’s a little tough to swallow just because with so many guys out – and the guys that left are basically almost the [only] healthy guys, if you will,” said Vermes, who has been unable to field a full 18-man gameday roster on many occasions in 2019.
