Toronto FC striker Jozy Altidore will be out six to eight weeks with a hamstring injury.
The U.S. international was hurt Saturday night taking a penalty in a 4-3 MLS loss to the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Altidore has a history of hamstring injuries and this one looks to keep him from competing at next month’s Copa America with the U.S.
It’s also a big blow for Toronto FC. Eight weeks means being out until July 9, which covers nine games includes two Amway Canadian Championship matches.
With the MLS taking a 10-day break during Copa America and the European Championship, Altidore would have missed fewer matches had he been healthy and away on national team duty.
