TORONTO -- Facing five games in 14 days, starting with Saturdays home opener against San Jose, Toronto FC is trying to fill the huge void left by injured captain Torsten Frings and goalkeeper Stefan Frei. You can watch the game live on TSN and TSN Mobile TV at 12:30pm et/9:30am pt. The 35-year-old former German international was helped off the field last Saturday in Torontos season-opening loss in Seattle, after making a last-ditch tackle in the penalty box. The cost of that defensive gem was a strained right hamstring that is expected to keep Frings out for four to six weeks. Frei is expected to be out of the lineup for eight to 10 weeks after breaking his left leg in a freak training accident earlier this week. Manager Aron Winter has been deploying Frings in the middle of the backline of a fluid 3-4-3 formation recently, giving the German licence to move forward as he sees fit. Frings, who also plays central midfield, has proved to be a dependable stopper with a no-nonsense style. While he has a great passing eye and a deft touch on the ball, Frings is not averse to simply hoofing the ball out of danger if things are getting too hot. He is also key at set plays, keeps his younger teammates honest on the field and serves as the teams often vocal negotiator with officials. "It is a big loss, of course, because its very difficult to replace a player like Torsten," coach Aron Winter said Thursday. "Not just his quality, but his leadership." On the plus side, Winter calls the injury "a little strain" and says Frings has never had hamstring issues before. Winter also insists he has the personnel to survive Frings absence but the job is complicated by the fact central defenders Adrian Cann and Dicoy Williams are still recovering from long-term injuries. Of course, if either was available, Frings might have been playing in midfield rather than defence. That is moot now, however. Canadians Julian de Guzman and Terry Dunfield appear to have been given the task of helping fill the Frings void. The team has been practising both in a 3-4-3 and 4-3-3 formation, with de Guzman and Dunfield either alternating in the Frings role or sitting as holding midfielders. "I think well know a lot more (Friday)," said de Guzman De Guzman, who failed to get off the bench in the 3-1 loss to Seattle even when Frings went down, will lead the team out Saturday as captain. That could mean Milos Kocic starts in goal again since Stefan Frei is the teams vice-captain. But Winter likes to leave his goalkeeping decision late. De Guzman, who like Frings is one of Torontos designated players, has played in the back four before -- with Deportivo la Coruna in Spain and Hannover in Germany. But Toronto has used him as a defensive midfielder. "Im open to everything," he said. Just one game into the MLS season, Toronto has already had somewhat of a wild start with success against the Los Angeles Galaxy in the quarter-finals of the CONCACAF Champions League followed by the season-opening defeat in Seattle and loss of Frings. Add a trip to Cyprus with the Canadian national team for de Guzman, who is expected to play a key role in Canadas next phase of World Cup qualifying. "Ive kind of predicted that this season will be the busiest of my career," said the 30-year-old de Guzman. Winter says he has no other fitness concerns, adding Cann could be back in a few weeks. Toronto and San Jose swapped players last July with defender Nana Attakora, midfielder Jacob Peterson and forward Alan Gordon going to San Jose in exchange for Jamaican international forward Ryan Johnson, allocation money and an international player slot. Peterson and Attakora have since moved on and Gordon is coming back from hip surgery. Johnson, meanwhile, has been firing on all cylinders every since his arrival. He has slotted in nicely in Torontos attacking trio, usually on the wing but also up front as needed. "This is a good player, a very good player," Winter said. Torontos looming schedule crunch includes MLS games against San Jose, Columbus and Montreal as well as the two-legged CONCACAF Champions League semifinal against Mexicos Santos Laguna. The Earthquakes, coached by former Canada manager Frank Yallop, are 1-1 after a 1-0 win over New England and 1-0 loss to Houston, both in San Jose. San Jose outshot the Dynamo 22-8, giving up the lone goal of the game on a penalty. cheap nfl jerseys . Jerome Verrier, Jerome Raymond, Tommy Giroux and Charles-David Beaudoin also scored for Drummondville. Jason Houde, Marcus Power and Antoine Quevillon replied for the Huskies.

Australia took a 22-3 lead into halftime and nearly blew it all. Luciano Orquera, who had knocked over each of his previous five kicks, put a penalty heartbreakingly wide in the final minute as Italy missed out on a historic first draw against Australia.LISBON, Portugal -- Sporting Lisbon defender Xandao scored with an audacious back-heeled shot in a 1-0 win over Manchester City on Thursday in the first leg of the last 16 of the Europa League. Xandao pounced in the 51st minute in a goalmouth scramble after keeper Joe Hart had failed to hold Matias Fernandezs dipping free kick or palm it safely out. Sporting, lying fourth in its domestic championship and playing under its second manager this season, proved to be a tough adversary and had Man City on the ropes for long spells. City tried to slow the pace of the game in the first half, but after falling behind the Premier League leaders sharpened their attack by introducing Samir Nasri and Mario Balotelli, who hit the goal frame with a late header. City had an early setback when central defender Vincent Kommpany went off injured within the first 10 minutes and was replaced by Joleon Lescott.dddddddddddd Hart blocked Joao Pereiras early effort as Sporting pressed forward. But at the other end, goalkeeper Rui Patricio stuck out a leg to stop Kolo Toures header. City midfielder Gareth Barrys shot from the edge of the area scraped the post in the 24th. Sporting grew bolder after Xandaos strike. Ricky van Wolfswinkel was unmarked and looked certain to make it 2-0 when he received the ball inside the area from Emiliano Insua, but the Dutch striker shot weakly toward Hart. Roberto Mancinis substitutions restored the balance of the game as City created a series of chances, however a sliding tackle by Xandao denied Sergio Aguero in the closing minutes. The second leg in Manchester is next Thursday. cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
