Toronto FC players working out apart but together thanks to video conferencing

The new normal for Toronto FC players includes working out at home — connected via video conferencing — with the MLS club setting up a meal delivery service.

The Major League Soccer club’s $21-million training facility in north Toronto has essentially stood empty since the league suspended play last Thursday for 30 days due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Club employees, including team president Bill Manning, are working from home. Security and the facility’s two building managers, who have supervised a top-to-bottom cleaning and disinfecting, have been the only people on site.

“The last thing we’re worried about is team trainings right now,” Manning said in an interview Wednesday.
