Toronto II Possible Starting Lineup
A. De Rosario; M. Chisholm, R. Chukwu, L. Costabile, R. Fisher; F. Bank, B. Boneau, M. Cimermancic, A. Salaou; D. Barrow, J. Nugent.
Toronto II have a youthful squad with depth across all lines, including multiple goalkeepers such as A. De Rosario and C. Kalongo, a sizeable defensive group featuring M. Chisholm, R. Chukwu and L.
