Following the injury the Italian footballer suffered in the match between Toronto FC and Atlanta United on March 23rd, he has been absent from The Reds' last 4 matches, which has been a significant loss for John Herdman's team.

Although Insigne arrived in the summer of 2022, the 32-year-old figure is one of the team's key players, and his absence represents a major loss in Toronto's attack. The injury was to the hamstring tendon, and his return is expected in May when he can rejoin the club and contribute to the effectiveness they were showing in their matches.

Lorenzo Insigne is synonymous with security for Toronto FC

With 2 goals in 5 matches, Insigne was becoming an effective goal scorer and, above all, adding another weapon to TFC's offensive attack. With a strong record in the current MLS season, Lorenzo had 3 wins, 1 draw, and only 1 loss in 5 matches played. However, his injury led to a significant downturn for The Reds, as without him, they have a record of 3 losses and 1 win in 4 matches played.

On April 23rd, the Italian forward was seen training with the team, which allows for good feelings regarding his return as soon as possible, and above all, for his bond with the club to continue growing. TFC's star completes his 4th week on the sidelines with the team, and as John Herdman had informed, the injury could keep him out for a total of 6 weeks.

An important player on and off the field

Lorenzo Insigne's presence with the club has been significant; his contribution off the field in the matches played is crucial, as evidenced in the victory against New England, where he presented the MVP trophy to Sean Johnson.

It is hoped that in May, the Italian will be able to return to the team in the best possible condition, representing an important reintegration for the MLS competition and continuing to build his path towards the Playoffs.
