Report: Star striker Jozy Altidore at odds with Toronto FC after run-in with coach

TORONTO - Star striker Jozy Altidore is reportedly at odds with Toronto FC.

Citing sources, ESPN reports that the designated player has been told to train on his own after a confrontation last Saturday with coach Chris Armas after being substituted in the 70th minute of Toronto’s 1-0 loss at Orlando City.

Asked whether Altidore was indeed training apart from the first team due to a bust-up with Armas, GM Ali Curtis, in a text to The Canadian Press, replied: “Internal matter that we are keeping in-house.”

Toronto (1-3-2) plays at Columbus (2-2-2) on Saturday. The team is due to leave Friday from its pandemic-prompted base in Orlando.
