Emmanuel Sabbi

ANALYSIS
Sabbi is set to miss Saturday's clash against Toronto after being handed a one-match suspension for serious foul play in the 50th minute of the season opener against Real Salt Lake. It's a tough break for the Whitecaps, as the attacking midfielder is a locked-in starter on the right wing whenever he's available and a key piece in their front line. His absence forces a shake-up in the starting XI, with newcomer Cheikh Tidiane Sabaly in line to step into the role if he's cleared to go after his recent move from the Grenats.
