Groin issue likely to keep Toronto FC defender Drew Moor off the pitch on Saturday in Seattle, TFC says Globe_Sports
“Given the circumstances and [the fact it’s] early in the season, it doesn’t make sense for us to push Drew too hard,” Vanney said after training Wednesday.Auro missed the Chicago game with soreness in his semitendinosus muscle, located in the high hamstring area.
Toronto has Laurent Ciman and Eriq Zavaleta able to step in for Moor at centre back alongside Chris Mavinga. Richie Laryea made his first start for Toronto against Chicago in Auro’s place at right fullback. Vanney could start both Ciman and Zavaleta if he shifts to a back three in a 3-5-2 formation rather than a 4-4-2.Ciman, a former MLS Defender of the Year who joined the team in the off-season, has made just one start this season – when Toronto fielded a back three in Philadelphia. Zavaleta, who was dealing with a shin injury, has yet to see action in the league this year.
