Philadelphia Union team news
Philly were without Ben Bender last time out due to a calf strain, while Ian Glavinovich continued to miss action with a knee issue. After going behind early, Tai Baribo drew them level in the second half before Mikael Uhre stepped up with a late brace to seal all three points.
Toronto FC team news
Toronto had plenty of injury concerns of their own. Henry Wingo, Zane Monlouis, and Nicksoen Gomis were all ruled out due to lower-body knocks, while Raoul Petretta was sidelined with a head injury and Ola Brynhildsen sat out because of an ankle problem.
Head coach John Herdman made a single tweak to his starting lineup against Charlotte, bringing in Jonathan Osorio for Kosi Thompson, who dropped to the bench. Meanwhile, Tyrese Spicer is no longer part of the squad, having been traded to Orlando City last week in a deal involving General Allocation Money (GAM).
