TFC’s Jozy Altidore not expected to be ready for first game of MLS is Back Tournament

TORONTO, Canada—When Toronto FC kicks off on Sunday vs. D.C. United, the Reds may be without 30-year-old Jozy Altidore.

Altidore recently re-joined his teammates at practice for the first time on July 3 after he was reportedly given permission early in the COVID-19 crisis to remain in his home state of Florida and train. On June 21, the 30-year-old striker touched back down in Toronto where he was subject to a 14-day quarantine per the requirements of the federal government.

With a July 10 kickoff date in mind, Toronto FC head coach Greg Vanney felt it would’ve been a big ask for Altidore to be ready.
