Toronto FC coach Greg Vanney sees silver lining in a weekend off for Pozuelo Globe_Sports
Philadelphia Union midfielder Brenden Aaronson and teammate Jamiro Monteiro pressure Toronto FC midfielder Alejandro Pozuelo during second half MLS soccer action in Toronto on May 11, 2019.He may be looking for a silver lining, but Toronto FC coach Greg Vanney says Alejandro Pozuelo missing Sunday’s visit by the San Jose Earthquakes may not be such a bad thing.
“He’ll never admit it because players love to play and they want to play all the time and they want to help their teams but I do think – and I talked to him about it – this is a good week for him to be able to kind of catch his breath a little bit,” Vanney said.“He came [here], he came fast, obviously had an incredible start to the whole thing, which then ramps up the attention and everything else on your arrival.
Pozuelo has taken his lumps from defenders in recent weeks and that frustration seemed to boil over against Real Salt Lake. Having Altidore back on the field will help take some of the opposition’s focus off Pozuelo, he added.Altidore is deemed fully healthy now. And defenders Laurent Ciman and Chris Mavinga were back at training Wednesday after missing the weekend game through injury.
