MLS star Lorenzo Insigne ruled out for nearly two months with hamstring injury as Toronto FC handed brutal injury news after brilliant start to season

Major League Soccer

Toronto FC

FC Dallas

<p>The Italian maestro's unfortunate exit occurred during the first-half stoppage time in last Saturday's 2-0 victory against Atlanta. Insigne, visibly distressed, limped off the field, favouring his right leg, after he seemed to pull his hamstring in the Atlanta penalty box.</p><div class="affiliate-button-container theme-1" data-name="Apple TV"><div class="affiliate-button"><img class="logo" height="40" width="72" src="https://eu-images.contentstack.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt2de198b67da95a2e/65709d2436cf7d0407034ef9/Apple_TV.png" style="width: 72px; height: 40px;"><span class="affiliate-text">Get the MLS Season Pass today!</span></div><a href="https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd.7000?itsct=goal_mls&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=1010l39UY" class="affiliate-button-link" target="_blank">Stream games now</a></div>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Coach Herdman shed light on the extensive diagnostic process undertaken by the club, revealing that medical experts from Canada, England, and Italy scrutinized MRI scans of Insigne's injury. And after detailed deliberation, all of them concurred that the player would be sidelined for a lengthy period.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to reporters, Herdman said: "It's one of those tricky ones, a little bit close to the head of the muscle. When it's at that head, you've got to get a few opinions on it. There's been no stone left unturned."</p>

WHAT HERDMAN SAID

<p>In a bid to facilitate Insigne's recovery, Toronto FC has enlisted the services of Greg Bay, a highly respected physiotherapist and the Canadian men’s team medical lead. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Despite the setback, Insigne's impact on the field has been undeniable, with the Italian striker netting two crucial goals this season, both of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lorenzo-insigne-napoli-italy-legend-long-range-screamer-toronto-mls-charlotte/blt6f523f2be3f81993" target="_blank">them turning out to be match-winners for Toronto</a>. In fact, both goals were recognised as  MLS Goal of the Week for their sheer brilliance and artistry. </p><p>Insigne's absence casts a shadow over Toronto FC's promising start to the season as they have picked up 10 points from the first five matches. They will return to action against Sporting Kansas City in their upcoming fixture on Saturday. </p><p></p>
