Reds head coach and athletic director Bob Bradley told the league website on Wednesday, saying the forward is struggling with calf discomfort.

The Italian and his compatriot Domenico Criscito will both be eligible to play in the Garber circuit as soon as the transfer window opens; Toronto will host the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday, but Insigne is plagued by a lingering problem. Thus, he will likely miss the next three duels of his team, including that of July 16 against CF Montreal at Stade Saputo.

If all goes as planned, the former Serie A Napoli captain will make his debut for his new side when they take on Charlotte FC.

Insigne has signed a four-year contract with the TFC, which sits 12th in the Eastern Conference.
