TORONTO -- Toronto FC fans hoping to see Danny Koevermans much-missed goal celebration may have to wait a little longer. The Dutch striker, who has been out for more than 10 months due to knee surgery, is in doubt for his comeback game Saturday against the visiting Philadelphia Union. "He twinged his other knee, so hes in doubt," manager Ryan Nelsen said Wednesday after Koevermans missed practice. "Its a really minor thing." Koevermans, 34, has not played since tearing up his knee last July in New England. Toronto has gone 2-17-8 in MLS play in his absence. The big striker, who has 17 goals in 26 games for TFC, has been raring to go for weeks and has looked sleek in practice. Backup goalkeeper Stefan Frei missed practice again after being injured in practice last week. At the time, he said he had been cleated but the problem is now said to be a hamstring. Frei was slated to have a scan later Wednesday. Nelsen is hopeful the injury is minor and that the goalie should be available next week. The news is not so good for fullback Richard Eckersley, who has been out since April 6 after injuring his hamstring celebrating a goal by teammate Darel Russell. The English defender, who has missed nine games already, re-tore the hamstring. "Eckersleys a long way away," said Nelsen. Logan Emory is sidelined by a bone bruise on his foot while fellow defender Danny Califf, the victim of a virus, is expected back in training Thursday. Striker Justin Braun, coming back from an ankle knock, trained by himself Wednesday. Nelsen called him day-to-day. The good news for Nelsen is that Russell is back training, giving him a choice of three fullbacks including Ryan Richter and Ashtone Morgan. Nelsen has shifted captain Darren ODea from centre back to left back the last two games, playing Steven Caldwell and Doneil Henry in the middle with Richter on the right. ODea was on the bench Wednesday as Ireland played England to a 1-1 draw in a high-profile friendly at Wembley. He is due to fly back to Toronto for TFCs game Saturday before returning to Dublin for games next week against Georgia (a friendly) and the Faroe Islands (a World Cup qualifier). It was ODeas decision to return for the Toronto game. Nelsen seemed torn on what to do Saturday with ODea, given his captains commitment in returning to Toronto between games and the air miles that come with it. With ODea not playing Wednesday, chances are he will see action on the weekend in Toronto, although Nelsen talked up Morgans recent form. Toronto (1-7-4) is winless in 10 league games and has lost its last five. Philadelphia (5-5-3) is coming off a 5-3 loss in Montreal last week although it defeated the Ocean City NorEasters 2-1 in U.S. Open Cup play Tuesday. Cheap Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys .

TORONTO -- After watching DeMar DeRozan drop more than 30 points on an opponent for the eighth time in nine games this season, Toronto coach Dwane Casey suggested that the game keeps slowing down for the NBAs leading scorer.DeRozan, who is averaging 34.0 points after scoring 33 in the Raptors 118-107 victory over the New York Knicks on Saturday night, agreed.Yeah, I always find ways I can be better mentally, physically, skill-wise, he said following Torontos fourth straight win over New York. I always try to find something in the offseason and during the season as well.The outburst put DeRozan in an exclusive club. In the last 50 years, only Michael Jordan, World B. Free and Tiny Archibald have started a season registering 30-plus points in eight of the first nine games.In a see-saw game that saw 27 lead changes, DeRozan provided a reassuring presence for a team that started one rookie in Pascal Siakum and a second-year player in Norman Powell, who had 19 points.Point guard Kyle Lowry, who scored what turned out to be the winning points with 1:41 to play on a driving layup, pointed to DeRozans fourth-quarter, 4-point play.He was serenaded with chants of MVP! MVP! from the crowd as he put the game out of reach with 26.8 seconds to go.Were just going to keep riding that coattail, Lowry said. Were going to keep letting him do him. Were going to rally around him and keep helping him be great.Carmelo Anthony scored 31 points, while Kristaps Porzingis and Derrick Rose added 21 apiece. Rose, who seemed to be favoring his shoulder at points in the game, said it was just a stinger.Losing, it hurts, period, Rose said after the Knicks fell to 3-6. Ive never been a loser in my life and just got to figure ways out. Were closer, a lot closer and the effort that we had, we need to find that effort for the entire game.TIP-INSKnicks: New York is 0-2 in the back end of back-to-back games.
