TFC to be red and White in San Jose?

Sources close to TFC are suggesting that TFC's first round draft pick and T.O. resident O'Brian White could be set to return to action this weekend against San Jose.

It's expected that he will make his long awaited debut from the subs bench as TFC is looking for a chance to see what he might provide the team moving forward. If the game situation warrants it -- a big lead for either team late -- he will likely see the pitch for the first time since blowing out his ACL in college.

Two years ago White was the biggest striking prospect in NCAA soccer. However, his injury caused his stock to drop allowing Toronto to get him with the fourth pick of the first round of last year's draft.

White is considered a domestic player for TFC as his family makes its home in Toronto. He's Jamaican by birth and most likely to represent that country internationally if he is provided with the opportunity.
