Update: Both teams return from Major League Soccer’s Copa America break missing some big pieces, with Toronto’s Michael Bradley and the Galaxy’s Gyasi Zardes playing for the U.S. national team, while Galaxy Captain Robbie Keane is on international duty with Ireland in the European Championships.
Injuries have claimed two more players, with Toronto’s Jozy Altidore and the Galaxy’s Steven Gerrard out with hamstring strains. But both teams will have their hottest players available. For the Galaxy, that’s Giovani dos Santos, who has scored or assisted on 11 goals this season, while Toronto’s Sebastian Giovinco has scored or assisted on 13 of his team’s 14 goals.
The Galaxy have lost just one of their last 11 games. Toronto, meanwhile, was shut out by the New York Red Bulls in its last MLS game May 28.
