Toronto FC’s high-octane absence to be tested by Jozy Altidore’s absence against Portland Globe_Sports
Jordan Hamilton, who scored two goals off the bench in last week’s 4-3 win over visiting Minnesota United, would seem the logical choice to replace Altidore up front. Teenager Ayo Akinola and Terrence Boyd are other options.
The team has come together after some high-profile departures. Giovinco and playmaker Victor Vazquez left for greener pastures during training camp. Dutch defender Gregory van der Wiel exited after a pre-season bust-up with coach Greg Vanney. Thanks to renovations to Providence Park, the Timbers have been forced into the role of road warriors. They will have played 12 games away from home before hosting Los Angeles FC on June 1.
