TORONTO — A victory over visiting New York City FC on Saturday and Toronto FC can match its entire points total of last season when it finished last in the league at 4-20-10.

There's more good news with word that Italian star Lorenzo Insigne will return Saturday after missing the last eight games in all competitions with a hamstring issue.Still to be decided is whether Insigne starts and leaves early, or comes off the bench."When a player like that is out of the lineup, you just know that other players are going to get picked up in the game and it'll be harder to create things," Herdman added.

Herdman can't wait to see the two Italians on the same field again, combining with the rest of the TFC talent. Herdman said he hadn't realized his team could match last year's points total with a win over New York. That's good, because there has been no shortage of games in recent weeks. Saturday marks TFC's sixth game in all competitions in three weeks.NYCFC goes into weekend play in seventh place in the East, winless on the road in league play this season . The New Yorkers are coming off a 2-0 loss to visiting Colorado that ended a five-game unbeaten run .

Cushing said Argentine playmaker Maxi Moralez returned to training this week but is not yet ready to play. Moralez underwent surgery after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament last September in a game against the Vancouver Whitecaps.
