Giovinco comes off with adductor injury vs. Red Bulls
Toronto FC star forward Sebastian Giovinco could only muster 22 minutes of action in his team's away visit to the New York Red Bulls on Saturday, calling for a change after suffering an adductor injury despite not making any contact with an opponent.
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.
