Toronto FC and D.C. United will reportedly try to play their opening match at the MLS is Back Tournament for the third time on Monday morning,
The source was granted anonymity because the league hadn’t announced the time or date of the game at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports complex in the Orlando area.
It marked the second delay for both Toronto and D.C. United. They were supposed to meet Friday night but the game was pushed back to Sunday due to Toronto’s late arrival at the tournament because of the need for additional COVID-19 testing in the wake of a player reporting symptoms. “In the case of Dallas and Nashville, the decision was made that based on the extent of the positive tests in those teams their ability to train, that the more prudent course was to withdraw them.
Abbott said because Toronto only arrived last Monday, the decision was made to await the results of tests conducted Sunday morning before playing the game. “Obviously it happened over a brief period of time but we were committed to making the right decision,” he said.
