Four days after paying for some sloppy defending in a 2-1 loss to visiting FC Cincinnati, Toronto FC will be short on the backline when the two teams meet again Wednesday in Ohio.
Mexican centre back Carlos Salcedo, along with forward Ifunanyachi Achara, is in health and safety protocols. Fellow defender Chris Mavinga, a French-born Congolese international, is dealing with a leg injury that forced him out of Saturday’s game at BMO Field in the 29th minute.
“Like many people around the world, we’re still dealing with some parts of protocols when you get in these situations,” said Toronto coach Bob Bradley.
