Toronto FC looks to snap six-game losing streak dating back to last season
Two teams on different ends of wild comebacks in last week’s MLS season openers face off Saturday when Toronto FC visits Atlanta United.
Almada’s spectacular free kick in the 99th minute won MLS goal of the week honours. His 93rd minute goal, from outside the penalty box in a rehearsed move off a corner, was runner-up in the voting. There are question marks over the availability of both Italian star winger Lorenzo Insigne and Spanish midfielder Victor Vazquez for Toronto, whose roster depth is a concern. Both are listed as questionable.
The season opener saw both Robinson and goalkeeper Brad Guzan return from lengthy injury absences due to a ruptured Achilles. Guzan was hurt April 16 and Robinson May 7. “Their turf will be different than this,” said Bradley. “Does it help? Maybe. It’s not something that the players enjoy, They feel little things. You have to tweak your training loads accordingly.”
Atlanta finished 11th in the Eastern Conference last season with 40 points, six ahead of 13th-place Toronto.
