Gerrard injury leaves local soccer fans wanting

Hamstring troubles prevent Liverpool legend from making what might have been his only stop in Toronto.

A hamstring injury prevented Steven Gerrard from facing Toronto FC on Saturday.

Steven Gerrard jerseys dotted the crowd outside BMO Field Saturday evening in honour of the soccer legend’s first visit to the city since joining Major League Soccer.

But the Los Angeles Galaxy player, who so many fans paid to see, wasn’t part of the visiting squad.

The former Liverpool Football Club captain, who joined Major League Soccer in 2015 after 17 years with the Merseyside, England club, did not travel due to a hamstring injury.
