Toronto FC team news
Injury troubles continue to plague Toronto. Richie Laryea and Nicksoen Gomis were unavailable due to lower-body knocks, while ankle problems kept DeAndre Kerr and Kobe Franklin out of action on Wednesday.
There's a silver lining for the hosts, though—star forward Federico Bernardeschi returns from suspension just in time for the weekend, as does Kosi Thompson, providing a timely boost to the squad. Norwegian attacker Ola Brynhildsen continued his recent hot streak, bagging the opening goal against Philly—his second in three matches.
Charlotte FC team news
Charlotte have fitness headaches of their own. Jahlane Forbes, Idan Toklomati, and Brandon Cambridge were all sidelined midweek with thigh issues, while Tim Ream (quad), Nathan Byrne (neck), and Nimfasha Berchimas (foot) also missed out.
Despite the absences, Charlotte’s attack continues to show flashes of brilliance. Kerwin Vargas and Liel Abada both found the net against New York, with Vargas scoring his second of the campaign and Abada notching his fifth.
