TORONTO - Italian star winger Lorenzo Insigne, who has played just 34 minutes for Toronto FC this season because of a groin injury, has been upgraded to questionable for Saturday’s game against visiting Atlanta.
The 31-year-old Insigne, the highest-paid player in MLS, has missed the last six games since coming off the pitch in the 34th minute of TFC’s season-opening 3-2 loss Feb. 25 at D.C. United.
But while the forecast is more favourable for Insigne, Toronto (1-1-5) will be without veteran defender Matt Hedges on the weekend.
The reliable centre back is out due to concussion protocols after taking a ball to the face early in last week’s 0-0 draw at Nashville.
