It was reported today Toronto FC had released Nana Attakora and while the news came as a shock to TFC supporters the most surprised was Attakora himself.
“I was sick today. A bunch of us were…we picked up something on the plane ride back from Seattle and Dan (Gargan) and me and a few others didn’t show up to training today,” Attakora told Canadian Soccer News.
Asked how it felt to learn he had been traded when he had in fact not been sent anywhere, Attakora laughed it off.
“I’m not surprised. It happens all the time with you guys (the media.)”
If there was a silver lining to the slip up, it was the news that the injury he had been nursing had healed and he was working on getting back to match fitness.

“It feels good now. The problem is I haven’t really been able to train for the past two weeks so I need to get my fitness back up.”
How long?
“I’d give it a week.”
So, given the mix-up and that he’s a week away from returning, let’s call it a good news day.
