Time to let Sebastian Giovinco rest

When Sebastian Giovinco willingly takes himself out of a game, you know something is wrong. When it’s still in the first half and he has already scored a goal, you know something is really wrong.

During Saturday’s match at BMO Field against Minnesota United, at around the 44-minute mark, Giovinco appeared to be in significant discomfort and had to be substituted much earlier than would have been expected. During the half, an interview with head coach Greg Vanney and subsequent tweets afterwards by the Toronto FC PR account created some confusion, as it wasn't a clear whether this was his calf or quadriceps muscle.
