Insigne nearing a return for Toronto FC but Marshall-Rutty now on the sidelines

Insigne nearing a return for Toronto FC but Marshall-Rutty now on the sidelines

Italian star Lorenzo Insigne, working his way back from a hamstring injury, was on the field with the rest of Toronto FC on Friday while fellow designated player Richie Laryea, recovering from hamstring surgery, was seen running with a trainer. Laryea, who has not played since the Feb. 25 season opener, is still four to six weeks away. The 19-year-old, who came off in the 58th minute of Toronto's 2-1 win at Orlando last Saturday, will be out for four weeks with a hamstring injury. Citing the "limitations on our squad," Herdman suggested that players like Marshall-Rutty have been pushed to their "red minutes" level.
