Who will miss the next MLS tour

On October 15, the 24th round of the MLS regular season starts, within which 12 matches will be played. Before placing a bet it would be useful to check the latest MLS updated news regarding injuries of the top-7 teams' players because the lack of key players, as a rule, affects the final results of the matches.

Toronto FC 

Canadian club will play against New York Red Bulls without five players: goalkeeper Alex Bono and defender Justin Morrow will be able to help the team from the end of October. Forward Altidore Josie and midfielder Bradley Michael are expected to return in early November, while the rookie, forward Ifunanyachi Achara, will not be seen until March. Although for Toronto, as can be seen, this is not a problem: in the last five games, the team beat all their rivals.
