Altidore out 2-3 weeks, but clears air with Manning. MORE:
Altidore, 27, came off injured in the 82nd minute after setting up Jordan Hamilton's game-winning goal and underwent an MRI this weekend.
After the match, Altidore put partial blame for the injury on trainer Giuseppe Gueli's absence from the club and club president Bill Manning's role in it. "This could have been avoided, but you'll have to ask Bill Manning why it's not," Altidore said."It's just disappointing, I'm just disappointed...Hopefully [Manning] can put his ego aside and I can get the guy that has kept me healthy, kept Michael [Bradley] healthy, kept a bunch of guys healthy and we can move forward. To run a club, you've got to put your ego aside and put the players first... hopefully, that will change.
Gueli has not been with the club since the transfer of Sebastian Giovinco in January, but Manning confirmed on Monday that his return is imminent. Adds that the club is finalizing a new deal with Giuseppe Gueli who had dinner with Manning in Italy and is now with the team. Mentioned multiple times the importance of making sure he was available to the entire team & not just Jozy Altidore & Michael Bradley.
