Toronto FC’s first half nightmare against the Philadelphia Union appears to be short-lived. After going down 1-0 early in the half, things went from bad to worse when star player Sebastian Giovinco had to be helped off the pitch with a leg injury.
On the field, it looked fairly serious. Giovinco was in clear pain after taking a heavy tackle from Union defender Oguchi Onyewu. He didn’t look to be able to put any weight on his leg.
However, news out of the Toronto FC camp is that the injury is only a contusion, essentially a bruise.
