TORONTO -- Toronto FC fans hoping to see Danny Koevermans much-missed goal celebration may have to wait a little longer. The Dutch striker, who has been out for more than 10 months due to knee surgery, is in doubt for his comeback game Saturday against the visiting Philadelphia Union. "He twinged his other knee, so hes in doubt," manager Ryan Nelsen said Wednesday after Koevermans missed practice. "Its a really minor thing." Koevermans, 34, has not played since tearing up his knee last July in New England. Toronto has gone 2-17-8 in MLS play in his absence. The big striker, who has 17 goals in 26 games for TFC, has been raring to go for weeks and has looked sleek in practice. Backup goalkeeper Stefan Frei missed practice again after being injured in practice last week. At the time, he said he had been cleated but the problem is now said to be a hamstring. Frei was slated to have a scan later Wednesday. Nelsen is hopeful the injury is minor and that the goalie should be available next week. The news is not so good for fullback Richard Eckersley, who has been out since April 6 after injuring his hamstring celebrating a goal by teammate Darel Russell. The English defender, who has missed nine games already, re-tore the hamstring. "Eckersleys a long way away," said Nelsen. Logan Emory is sidelined by a bone bruise on his foot while fellow defender Danny Califf, the victim of a virus, is expected back in training Thursday. Striker Justin Braun, coming back from an ankle knock, trained by himself Wednesday. Nelsen called him day-to-day. The good news for Nelsen is that Russell is back training, giving him a choice of three fullbacks including Ryan Richter and Ashtone Morgan. Nelsen has shifted captain Darren ODea from centre back to left back the last two games, playing Steven Caldwell and Doneil Henry in the middle with Richter on the right. ODea was on the bench Wednesday as Ireland played England to a 1-1 draw in a high-profile friendly at Wembley. He is due to fly back to Toronto for TFCs game Saturday before returning to Dublin for games next week against Georgia (a friendly) and the Faroe Islands (a World Cup qualifier). It was ODeas decision to return for the Toronto game. Nelsen seemed torn on what to do Saturday with ODea, given his captains commitment in returning to Toronto between games and the air miles that come with it. With ODea not playing Wednesday, chances are he will see action on the weekend in Toronto, although Nelsen talked up Morgans recent form. Toronto (1-7-4) is winless in 10 league games and has lost its last five.

Having already beaten Dominic Thiem in Sundays opener, the world No 2 was back to his best form at times in a 7-6 (8-6) 7-6 (7-5) triumph at Londons O2 Arena.Djokovic edged a fiercely contested first set in a tie-break and then clinched victory courtesy of another tie-break after both players had dropped serve twice in the second set. Shot of the matchRaonic may be 6ft 5in, but Djokovic beat him with this inch-perfect lob. This lob from Djokovic was the shot of the match Djokovics reactionWinning the first set in a very close tie-breaker gave me some wings and I started playing well. I was two times a break up in the second, but Milos was hanging in there and one or two points separated us today. It could have gone either way. Djokovic speaks to Annabel Croft after the match Expert analysisGreg Rusedski: This is what Djokovic needed. We thought he was back to his best tennis when he was up a set, faltered a little bit, got it back with another break and then found a way to come through. For Raonic, its going to be a sleepless night. These are painful matches to lose when you have the match in your hands on many occasions. Highlights of Novak Djokovic v Milos Raonic from the ATP World Tour Finals Peter Fleming: Raonic had a set point in that second set but failed to convert it, and despite the W next to his name for Novak, there are still a few doubts and a few nerves rattling about in his head - erratic play that will leave him questioning where he is at.dddddddddddd But for now he is 2-0 in the round robin and he is going to be around at the weekend. He can still hope his complete game returns. Djokovic explains some of his shot selections at the Sky Pad The matchRaonic made the better start and created three early break points, but he failed to capitalise on each of them after being forced into errors by Djokovics outstanding defensive work and willingness to engage in long rallies.Although Raonic started raining down winners on his first serve, a combination of a weak second serve and more unforced errors allowed Djokovic to keep pace and the set almost inevitably went to a tie break.It went largely with serve until Djokovic broke with a stunning lob and Raonic then double-faulted to hand the Serbian first blood. Raonic hit 42 winners but was undermined by unforced errors Raonic twice looked to be a beaten man when he was broken in the first and fifth games of the second set, but on each occasion he broke back and the match once again went to a tie break.The pair were level at 5-5, but a successful challenge handed Djokovic match point and he took it by forcing Raonic into his 27th unforced error of the tie, a figure that ultimately undermined his total of 42 winners.Watch every day of the ATP World Tour Finals, from November 13-20, live on Sky Sports.
