Cann Do



Adrian Cann had a good day.



Monday was the first time in seven months the Toronto FC centre back took part in some first team exercises. His enthusiasm got him slightly carried away, drawing raised eyebrows from trainers on the touchline when he found himself in a drill that was not part of the plan.

Cann quickly corrected himself, smile on his face, back to his scheduled routine.



“I think the training staff did a great job moving forward. I think everything was done correctly,” Cann told Toronto FC TV after the session.



“I’m just looking forward to stepping back on the pitch and performing up to par.”



There is still no official expected date for Cann’s return to first team action.



The timeline so far suggests there are still weeks to go before TFC supporters see him sprint out on to BMO Field or any other venue, but the defender is enjoying the home stretch of his rehabilitation from an ACL tear.



Matchday Tuesday



Toronto will play its second match in the Walt Disney World Pro Soccer Classic on Tuesday, 6 p.m. ET against Swedish first division side BK Hacken. The Swedes drew FC Dallas 1-1 in its first game at the tournament. Defender Mattias Ostberg scored the goal for the Gothenburg side.



Reds head coach Aron Winter told Toronto FC TV on Monday that he will leave first team players out longer at Tuesday’s match in a bid to get his squad closer to match fitness.



Toronto v. Hacken will be streamed live on Toronto FC Live – Tuesday, February 28 at 6 p.m. ET.
