TORONTO - It looked like business as usual at Toronto FC on Tuesday with Italian stars Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi both training.
But there was likely plenty of action behind closed doors as the beleaguered franchise fought fires on and off the field, dealing with rumours about Insigne’s state of mind and a frustrated outburst from Bernardeschi after Saturday’s night’s 1-0 loss in Austin dropped Toronto to 2-5-7 in last place in the MLS Eastern Conference.
Insigne was a surprise omission Saturday with coach Bob Bradley explained after the match that the 31-year-old had landed awkwardly on a play during the mid-week scoreless draw with the visiting Red Bulls.
