TFC general manager looks to future after cleaning up salary cap messWhile Toronto FC is looking to improve its position on the pitch, general manager Jason Hernandez is trying to do the same off it.
Lorenzo Insigne - Dealing with calf tightnessInsigne left Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Columbus with calf tightness and should be considered questionable to play Saturday against Colorado.
ImpactManager 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.
