Recent additions give TFC depth, options for playoff run
With 10 regular-season games remaining and a healthy roster, Toronto FC coach Greg Vanney is finally able to start settling on a preferred starting 11.
Venezuelan winger Erickson Gallardo, whose debut was delayed by a quad strain, saw his first action off the bench Wednesday in Toronto’s 2-0 Canadian Championship semifinal win in Ottawa. French midfielder Nicolas Benezet debuted off the bench in last weekend’s 2-0 loss to the New York Red Bulls and started against Ottawa.
Centre back Omar Gonzalez, the third player to come on board during the summer transfer window, has settled in nicely at the heart of the TFC backline with four starts already under his belt.
