After finishing a passing move, the Atomic Ant immediately removed the captain's band from his arm and gestured to the bench, rubbing the inside of his right thigh.
In his stead, left full-back Ashtone Morgan entered the match with Mo Babouli moving from out wide into center-forward. Will Johnson took over as captain.
Giovinco suffered a similar injury last season in September during a 2-1 win over the Montreal Impact. He returned to action two weeks later to start versus the New England Revolution.
