Edu fighting to be fit

Toronto FC is hopefuly that Maurice Edu will be able to play Thursday vs. D.C. United.

Toronto FC midfielder Mo Edu is fighting to be fit for Wednesday night's game against D.C. United at BMO Field. Kick off is at 7:30 p.m. live on The Score.


The 2007 MLS Rookie of the Year has been receiving treatment on a leg injury. Coach John Carver is hoping Edu will be able to play. "I'd say he's got a 75 per cent chance of playing at the moment. He's been improving a lot every day since the weekend so I'll give him as much time as possible to recover before I name the team," said Carver.


Edu was replaced by Kevin Harmse in the 83rd minute of Saturday's 0-0 draw with Columbus Crew after aggravating an injury picked up in training the day before the game.
