Toronto FC ends a stretch of five games in 15 days Saturday when it faces Real Salt Lake City at Rio Tinto Stadium with the hope that key forward Jozy Altidore could see some action.
The U.S. international's finishing touch was sorely missed Wednesday when Toronto launched a club-record 35 shots but had to settle for a 0-0 tie with D.C. United, who had three shots .
"I'm not sure if we know exactly how quickly we can get the inflammation or the soreness out of ," coach Greg Vanney said at the time. Vanney pulled no punches when asked after the midweek game if the team was lacking in firepower without Altidore. Without the reinforcements, Curtis essentially has to wait until the secondary transfer window opens July 7 and sound positive.
Goalkeeper Quentin Westberg and wingback Richie Laryea have proved useful additions to the squad. Toronto is also looking to promote players from within its system.
