    The hope is that he would return on Monday

    Oh, good! I guess his definition of severe is different than mine!

    So now we know why Giovinco wasn't available Saturday. He was downtown chilling and playing some keep ups with Eros.

    Interview with Seba, including this:

    MLSsoccer.com: How many more years left on your contract and have there already been talks to extend your stay in Toronto?

    Giovinco: [laughing] Yes, there are still four years left [Giovinco signed a 6-year contract through the end of 2020]. And I think on my part there’s a desire to continue here and I think on their end [TFC], as well.

    I think Gio is going to have a massive game tomorrow. Space is going to open up for him as Altidore is going to draw a crowd all game.

    It's a fairly good sign that we were able to progress with Seba having such a quiet last few games.

    The reason we progressed is because of all those defenders focusing on him, leaving space for others to attack. Even when Seba is quiet, he is loud!

    Seba with his scoring boots back on. He's tied with Jozy and ex Red Findley. Chasing Guevara.

    A brace for Seba puts him past Jozy all time AND Amado Guevara. Let the floodgates open!

    The next ex-red he's chasing is Alan Gordon all time.

    Another one for Seba means he pulls away from Jozy again.

    Just checking out the video now.
    This is the first time i've watched him interviewed in English.
    Wow... it's kinda trippy seeing him speak without translator.

    If Seba does have plantar fascia, then its time for the TFC staff to give Seba a few weeks to rest. In the meantime, I would love to see Jordan Hamilton or Ben Spencer step up their game and show they are capable of being first team material (again).

    I am pretty sure Ben will be looked at before Jordan gets another run out.

    Well, fuck. I have Plantar Fasciitis from playing soccer, and it's been healing for almost 4 years now but I still can't play without significant pain. (My last specialists prognosis was "just learn to live with it, you'll never run again").

    I hope that Seba has access to better docs so that he can get it healed up, but I suspect it will require surgery and rehab and that he might be done for the season if he's not able to play a full half.

    I heard he was stepped on in the last game and his achilles was so swollen he had trouble putting on his boots. That makes sense given they described his injury as his "heel." That would probably be better than plantar fascitis which can take a long time to heal.

    It's actually a double whammy;

    When your Achilles swell because of the fasciitis, you can develop retrocalcaneal bursitis, which is a swelling of the "bump" on the back of your heel. It's the foot equivalent of Carpal Tunnel. Both can take a really long time to heal, and surgery weakens the tendon to the point hat you can't run on it, ever.

    My bursitis took 6-8 months or rest and constant icing to come down, bu the only exercise I could do was swimming. You can hit it with cortisone shots, but that will just make the whole problem much, much worse later on.

    My point is it's not an overuse injury, it came from a specific trauma. That's easier to deal with because you know the source. He apparently had gotten the swelling down enough to start on Saturday. He likely just needs to stay off it a bit and get the usual physio.

    This run of rapid-fire games is going to cost us "bigly" in injuries this season. With losses of players for the Gold Cup, we're really looking at a short bench this summer.

    Speaking of, do we know who we will lose for the Gold Cup yet?

    Sure things look like Altidore, Bradley, Cooper, Ricketts. We don't have a real idea on who Zambrano is gonna want going forward but it's possible any or all of Hamilton, Morgan, Chapman, Osorio and Edwards get called up.

    Of those, I'm least convinced Hamilton or Morgan will go. They haven't played all year. but We could still easily be down between 7-9 guys for that stretch.

    I think it's likely we sign 1-2 more academy players over the coming weeks.

    You forgot Morrow sounded likely to get a call for the US. So down 8-9 guys for the GC, plus another 2 possible for injuries (Gio (maybe) and Haggulnd (def))

    Gonna be thin all over.

    Highly, Highly unlikely Morrow gets called up. That's why I left him out. Too many guys in front of him at the LB position for the US at the moment.

    Morrow is not getting called up and Cooper won't come back to TFC after the Gold Cup as he will be shipped out.

    We are really going to miss Ricketts if Canada calls him in with Altidore most likely gone to for the length of the tournament.

    Actually Molinaro suggested in a story last month that Morrow might be in line for a spot on the Gold Cup roster: http://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/justi...national-team/

    It might happen sooner than Morrow thinks. Two notable reporters who cover the U.S. national team told Sportsnet that they expect the TFC defender to be included in Arena’s roster for this summer’s CONCACAF Gold Cup.

    Wishful thinking, I think, on the part of his sources. Lichaj, Garza, Villafana, Johnson and probably Beasley sit comfortably ahead of Morrow at LB. That's not including the likes of Robbie Rogers, Taylor Kemp, Edgar Castillo and Jonathan Bornstein who all have some sort of leg up on him whether it's previous USMNT experience or previous relationship with Arena. I can't see Morrow beating out that many guys.

    If Arena thought of him as being in that group of players he would have at least called him up to January camp.
