Just five days after taking on Atlanta United at Orlando City Stadium, the Lions are north of the border preparing to take on Toronto FC.


It’s a new look lineup for the Orlando City tonight as they deal with an injury to Dom Dwyer and the suspension (yellow card accumulation) of Yoshi Yotún.


Filling in for Yotùn, Uri Rosell will get his first start of 2018. Rosell has appeared off the bench in Orlando City’s previous four matches after missing the early season with an injury. The midfielder joined the team from Sporting Clube de Portugal in the offseason.


Stefano Pinho will slot in for Dom Dwyer at the top of the Lion’s formation. This will be Pinho’s fourth start of the season and his first since April 21st.


Toronto FC will be without a handful of their key contributors tonight as well. Both Sebastian Giovinco (red card suspension) and Jozy Altidore (injury) won’t be available for the match.
