Toronto FC ready to roll out the big guns with Altidore, Giovinco both back
TORONTO — It’s been three weeks since Toronto FC star striker Sebastian Giovinco last saw playoff action.
“(Feels) like a year,” the Italian said Sunday. “Because everybody wants to play this kind of game … Now finally we play.”
Blame Major League Soccer’s prolonged playoff schedule and Giovinco’s volcanic emotions for the long layoff.
Like fellow striker Jozy Altidore, disciplinary issues prevented him from taking part in the scoreless Game 1 of the Eastern Conference final in Columbus.
