Toronto FC will be feeling the aftereffects of defeat in MLS Cup well into the 2020 season.
Captain Michael Bradley evidently suffered a "severe" ankle injury in the Nov. 10 title match and two months later will be undergoing surgery Tuesday that will rule him out for up to four months, club general manager Ali Curtis told reporters.
It's unclear at what point in the 3-1 loss to the Seattle Sounders Bradley was injured and what the specific nature of the injury is. He played the entire 90 minutes in a game where a win was reportedly going to trigger an option that extended his otherwise-expiring contract for a year at the $6.
