Toronto FC vs. New York City FC: What you need to know
TFC begins life without Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Berhardeschi when they visit NYCFC at Yankee Stadium on Thursday
Somewhat lost in all the hoopla surrounding the departures of Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi is the fact that Toronto FC has an important midweek game coming up.
Toronto travels to the Big Apple to take on New York City FC, one of the clubs it needs to catch as it tries to climb up the Eastern Conference table and into the playoff zone.
TFC are unbeaten in their last three road games with wins over Real Salt Lake and CF Montreal and a draw against Inter Miami CF. Midfielder Kosi Thompson will earn his 100th appearance for the Reds in all competitions if he plays against New York. Richie Laryea is available for selection after being away with Canada at the Concacaf Gold Cup.
