Toronto FC defender Drew Moor returns from injury Globe_Sports
“He’ll be available for this weekend,” coach Greg Vanney said of his 35-year-old defensive quarterback.
“We can’t keep digging ourselves out of these situations. That’s not a formula for success longterm either. We’ve got to be more solid defensively and more reliable defensively and continue to create problems for teams on their defending.”Ask Vanney what’s going wrong on defence and the former U.S. international defenders reels off a list, including losing too many balls in bad positions and the backline making some poor decisions.
The Columbus win marked the first time this season that Portland has limited an opponent to under two goals. The Timbers offence, meanwhile, has been held to one goal or less five times.“The target is probably three weeks,” Vanney said of Altidore’s return. “If the gods shine upon us, maybe two weeks, but we’re probably looking at three.
