Major League Soccer teams head to Florida, albeit in stop-start fashion

MLS teams are gradually making their way to Florida for the MLS is Back Tournament, albeit in stop-start fashion.

Toronto FC became one of several teams to delay their departure, pushing its flight from Friday to Saturday, saying more time was needed to complete pre-travel COVID-19 testing.

The New York Red Bulls also delayed their Friday departure, saying a staff member had produced an inconclusive COVID-19 test result. While other staff and players had tested negative Thursday, the Red Bulls said they would reschedule their flight once all the test results were confirmed.

Toronto did not immediately respond to a request for more information about its delay.
