Toronto FC coach says Lorenzo Insigne close to returning but not this week

TORONTO - Coach Bob Bradley sees light at the end of the Toronto FC injury tunnel, but the wait on Italian star Lorenzo Insigne continues.

Toronto (1-1-4) will be without Insigne for the sixth game in a row Saturday when it visits Nashville SC (3-2-1). The former Napoli captain has not played since hobbling off in the 34th minute of the Feb. 25 season-opening 3-2 loss to D.C. United with a groin problem.

“Lorenzo’s doing a little bit on the field. (He’s) not yet in full training,” Bradley said after training Thursday. “Not available this game. Hopefully next week we get him back into training a little bit and (the April 15 home game against) Atlanta can be a possibility.
