Long shot to face Inter Miami Insigne (calf) is questionable and unlikely to play against Inter Miami on Saturday, head coach John Herdman told John Molinaro of TFC Republic. "If he plays a role [Sat] it'll be...
Impact Insigne is very unlikely to see action in the final match of the regular season for the Reds, though the expectation is that he'd be able to feature in the playoffs if Toronto qualify. Insigne has had a disappointing season for a player of his caliber, though, notching just four goals and five assists across 22 appearances (17 starts). Expect Derrick Etienne to start in place of Insigne.
OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable for Saturday Insigne was forced off of training Monday with a calf injury. According to head coach John Herdman, he will be questionable for Wednesday's match versus RBNY, reports John Molinaro...
Impact Insigne had already been dealing with a calf injury, forcing him to miss the Rapids while only playing three minutes off the bench Saturday. With Toronto in the hunt of a playoff spot, the forward will look to recover in time before the final regular season game on Saturday, the minimum.
OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE
Starts against Vancouver Insigne (calf) started and played 68 minutes during Wednesday's 0-0 loss against Vancouver during the Canadian Cup Final.
Impact Insigne returned for the Cup final, having missed the last match with a calf injury. He's underperformed since moving from Italy to MLS, only logging in four goals with five assists in 21 MLS appearances, making 17 starts while totaling 47 shots (21 on target), 24 chances created and 28 crosses (10 accurate).
SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Likely to be available Saturday Insigne (calf) is expected to be available for Saturday's game against Colorado, though his workload will have to be managed, manager John Herdman told John Molinaro of TFC Republi...
Impact Insigne left the match against Columbus on Wednesday with a calf problem, but it seems the injury wasn't severe, and the star winger should be available to start against Colorado. Insigne's presence should give Toronto a huge boost in the final third, as he's registered four goals and five assists across 21 appearances this season.
SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE
Dealing with calf tightness Insigne left Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Columbus with calf tightness and should be considered questionable to play Saturday against Colorado.
Impact Manager John Herdman has been critical of Insigne's inability to play full matches, and the star winger hasn't gone the full 90 since a 2-1 loss against Orlando on July 3. There's a quick turnaround with a match against the Rapids on Saturday, and it remains to be seen if Insigne will be able to play in that contest. The winger has four goals and five assists across 21 appearances (17 starts) for Toronto in the current MLS campaign.
SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Starting Saturday Insigne (groin) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with D.C.
Impact Insigne gets the start despite being labelled questionable due to a groin issue. The attacking midfielder is obviously a crucial part of the team and immediately slots into the starting XI after passing the late fitness tests.
AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE
Dealing with groin injury Insigne is questionable to face D.C. United on Saturday due to a minor groin injury, manager John Herdman told media Friday.
Impact Insigne was the hero for Toronto FC in the Canadian Championship on Tuesday, but it seems the effort of the midweek game has him at less than 100 percent for the weekend. There's a chance the groin problem is just precautionary, but Toronto will keep close tabs on whether he'll be able to play or not, as two of the team's best players are also out through suspension in Federico Bernardeschi and Jonathan Osorio.
AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE
Plays hero in Canadian Champ Insigne (thigh) started and scored the winning goal in the 1-0 win over Forge on Wednesday in the Canadian Championship.
Impact Insigne was the absolute hero for Toronto in this tie, as he took advantage of a cross from Federico Bernardeschi (suspended in MLS) to smash home a volley from close range. That goal proved to be the deciding factor in a series that ended with a 2-2 tie. Insigne should remain in the XI when Toronto take on DC United this Saturday in league play.
AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE
Picks up questionable tag Insigne (thigh) is questionable for Saturday's trip to Houston, per the MLS injury report.
Impact Insigne is dealing with a thigh issue coming out of the Leagues Cup. The hope is that he will be fit enough for some role during Saturday's clash, but he might not be ready to start. Still, if Insigne starts, he should be a productive part of the first team.
AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE
Assists game winning goal Insigne had an assist while crossing twice (one accurate) and creating two chances during Saturday's 1-0 win over Montreal.
Impact Insigne set up Richie Laryea in the 38th minute assisting the lone goal of the match while leading Toronto with two chances created. Insigne has two assists while combining for two shots, four chances created and three crosses over his last three appearances.

Assists winner as a sub Insigne assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 win against Philadelphia Union.
Impact Insigne came in as a sub at halftime and provided an assist to Deandre Kerr. This was the Italian's second sub appearance in a row. Of all of his sub appearances this was the first time that he created two chances.
JULY 14 • ROTOWIRE
Quiet off bench in loss Insigne had one off-target shot after coming off the bench during Saturday's 4-0 loss against Columbus.
Impact Insigne was brought at the hour mark to replace Shane O'Neill but couldn't provide the expected spark up front. The attacker, who started in each of the previous five matches, should return to the lineup for the next contest, but his performances haven't been so inspiring as of late, so a definitive move to the bench shouldn't be considered out of question if there isn't any signs of improvement.
JULY 8 • ROTOWIRE
Three chances created Insigne recorded three shots (zero on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat against Orlando City SC. In addition, he was given a yellow card...

JULY 2 • ROTOWIRE
Scores only goal in 4-1 loss Insigne scored one goal to go with eight shots (four on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Chicago Fire.
Impact In what marked his return from a two-game absence and his first action since May 25, Insigne scored for a second consecutive appearance and now has a goal contribution in each of his last three outings. He fired a season-high eight shots in the match, landing a season-high four on target, but it was not enough as his squad was heavily outdone. Additionally, Insigne completed a season-high 62 passes in the match.
JUNE 17 • ROTOWIRE
Back with team Insigne (not injury related) is back with Toronto in training and is available for Saturday's match against Chicago, according to John Molinaro of TFC Republic.

JUNE 12 • ROTOWIRE
Availability for Saturday uncertain Manager John Herdman said the club is trying to get Insigne (not injury related) back in time for Saturday's game against DC United, John Molinaro of TFC Republic reports.
Impact Insigne and his wife flew to Italy for the birth of their child, but the club is doing everything in their power to have the star winger back in time for Saturday's game. If that's not the case, then Derrick Etienne is likely to be his replacement once again. Insigne has three goals and two assists across nine appearances (seven starts) in 2024.
MAY 31 • ROTOWIRE
Welcomes baby boy Insigne and his wife flew to Italy for the birth of their child, likely ruling Insigne out for Wednesday's trip to Philadelphia.
Impact Insigne and his wife wanted their child to be born in their home town of Naples, essentially ruling Insigne out Wednesday. With the attacking midfielder on the sideline it could be Derrick Etienne who comes into the starting XI for the clash with the Union.

Goal and assist off stopped play Insigne logged one goal and one assist during Toronto FC's 4-3 loss Saturday against FC Cincinnati. He also received a yellow card.
Impact Insigne attempted four corners, one of which Deybi Flores headed to log a goal. The 32-year-old Italian is also Toronto FC's primary penalty taker, and that role paid dividends when he scored one given after Prince-Osei Owusu was fouled.
