Toronto FC returns to action Sunday after a three-week layoff that followed a disastrous July. And interim coach Terry Dunfield says his team understands what's expected when CF Montreal comes to BMO Field.
"We as a club know we owe the fans a performance," said Dunfield."And I don't think there could be a better game than Montreal at home."
Toronto has lost a franchise-record eight straight in all competitions and is winless in 11 games since a 2-1 victory over D.C. United on May 27. TFC has just one win in its last 17 outings . Montreal's form has also been rocky of late with just one win in its last seven outings in all competitions. Montreal has struggled on the road all season , collecting five of a possible 36 points. It has scored just five goals on the road while being blanked in nine of the 12 away games.
"It's an important game for both teams," said the Argentine native."Every point counts. From now on, every point is a golden point and we will go to Toronto with the best expectations, trying to do a very good game to be able to come back with points."Captain Michael Bradley, who has been sidelined since early April with a hamstring injury, is ready to play. Italian star Lorenzo Insigne and Spanish veteran Victor Vazquez returned to training this week.
