Lorenzo Insigne - Set for return against NYCFC Insigne (hamstring) is expected to be an option for Saturday's match against NYCFC, according to manager John Herdmen, per Waking the Red. "He'll play. We've missed him. We're exci...

Impact Insigne's extended absence appears to be coming to an end, as he is now in the selection group for Saturday's match after overcoming his hamstring issues. This is massive news for the club, as he has not played since the fifth match of the season and is easily one of their best players. He will look to gain the start immediately, as he is yet to miss a start when an option this season, although he may be left on the bench to be cautious, getting time to test his legs before a full return.

Raoul Petretta - Injury not as severe as expected Petretta suffered an ankle injury in Saturday's 3-1 win over FC Dallas, but manager John Herdman confirmed the injury isn't as severe as initially though, John Molinaro of TFC Repu...

Impact It's unclear whether this means Petretta will be available to face New York City FC on Saturday, but nonetheless, this is a positive outcome after the defender left last week's game just 17 minutes into the first half. If Petretta is forced to miss time, then Aime Mabika could be in line to see extra minutes on the defensive line.

Ayo Akinola - Pulled from group training Akinola has been removed from team training as the club discusses his future in Toronto, according to manager John Herdman, per John Molinaro of TFC Republic.

Impact Akinola appears as if he may have played his last minutes with the club, as he has been pulled from team trainging this week, with the club now in ongoing discussion about his future moving forward. The attacker has played a minimal role this seson, making all five of his appearances off the bench for a total of 82 minutes of play while going unused in four games after only four starts in 14 appearances last campaign, so this should come as no suprise. As of now, he shouldn't be expected to play or be on the team sheets in upcoming matches, likely being held out until a decison is made on if he will remain with the club or until he is with a new team.

Jordan Perruzza - No longer training with team Perruzza (groin) has been pulled from team training as the club ponders his future, according to manager John Herdman, per John Molinaro of TFC Republic.

Impact Perruzza looks to possibly be on the out from Toronto, as the forward was pulled from team training while recovering from a groin issue to discuss his future, implying the forward could've seen his last minutes with the club. He hasn't played since July of last season, so this shouldn't come as a surprise, as he hasn't been able to contribute to the club in a long time. Only time can tell what is coming for the forward, but as of now, don't expect him to be on the field anytime soon.

Brandon Servania - Set for another two months out Servania (knee) will miss around another two months as he works on his recovery, according to manager John Herdman, per John Molinaro of TFC Republic.

Impact Servania will remain on the sidelines for some time as he continues to rehabilitate his knee issues, as he is now set to be out until about mid-June to early July. He will now hope for no setbacks after already missing a decent chunk of the season, looking to possibly reclaim the starting spot he held for a solid portion of last season once healthy.

Shane O'Neill - Won't return soon O'Neill (quadriceps) won't be available for Saturday's game against FC Dallas and is not expected back in action in the next five weeks, John Molinaro of TFC Republic reports.

Impact O'Neill has been a regular at the back for Toronto when available, but that hasn't happened often this season. O'Neill hasn't played since early April and is now expected to be out until mid-June at the earliest. Nicksoen Gomis should continue to replace him until further notice.

Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty - Suffers hamstring injury Marshall-Rutty (hamstring) won't be available for Saturday's game against FC Dallas, John Molinaro of TFC Republic reports.

Impact Marshall-Rutty is set to miss at least four weeks while rehabbing from a hamstring injury, and this constitutes another vital blow for a Toronto side that has been struggling with injuries all season long. Marshall-Rutty had started in five of Toronto's last seven matches.

Lorenzo Insigne - Won't be available Saturday Insigne (hamstring) won't be available for Saturday's game against FC Dallas, John Molinaro of TFC Republic reports.

Impact Manager John Herdman acknowledged the team hopes Insigne back for the May 11 match against New York City FC, but everything will depend on the evolution of his recovery process. Not having Insigne is a brutal blow for a Toronto team that has been hampered by injuries of late.

MAY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty - Not spotted in training Friday Marshall-Rutty (undisclosed) was not spotted in training and his availability for Saturday's game against Dallas could be in question, John Molinaro of TFC Republic reports.

Impact Marshall-Rutty has started in five of Toronto's last seven matches, but he should be an option off the bench if the entire team's healthy. It's unclear if he'll be available to play against Dallas, though he doesn't carry a lot of fantasy upside, so his potential absence shouldn't affect many lineups.
