Toronto FC president Bill Manning is downplaying a post-game outburst by Jozy Altidore, saying his star striker didn’t have all the information concerning the absence of a valued trainer.
Altidore left Toronto’s 4-3 win over Minnesota in the 82nd minute, complaining of hamstring tightness. He laid into Manning after the game, saying the president’s ego was hurting player welfare by banning trainer Giuseppe Gueli because of his affiliation with the now-departed Sebastian Giovinco.

On Monday, Manning met with Altidore and then talked to reporters on a conference call, saying Gueli was back in the fold.
