TORONTO -- The planets have yet to align for Toronto FC this season. News that captain Torsten Frings is ready to return from a hamstring strain was tempered Friday by the sight of Dutch striker Danny Koevermans watching practice from the sidelines. The big Dutch striker is nursing a groin issue that flared up Thursday. It does not seem major but with a record of 0-5-0, outscored 10-2, yet to score at home or even hold a lead, Toronto needs all its offensive weapons as it entertains the Chicago Fire (1-1-2). "I hope (Saturday) he can play, but I think not," said manager Aron Winter. Forward Nick Soolsma, one of Torontos best players this season, also did not train with the team. He worked out on his own, looking to rehab a hamstring issue that kept him out last week. Frings knows the team cant afford to squander any more points. "(Saturday) we need the points, its very important to us," the former German international said in his now weekly meeting with reporters (no video or stills). "This may be the last chance for the playoffs." Thats an ominous note for a franchise that in its sixth year is still looking for its first taste of the post-season. Winter, in his second year at the helm, has essentially staked his reputation on making the playoffs. On the surface, hes not feeling the heat. As composed as ever, Winter predicted the points drought will end this weekend. "We worked hard this week," he told reporters. "Weve got a lot of confidence and faith in a good result (Saturday)." The offensive load will fall on the shoulders of Jamaican international Ryan Johnson, who has suffered a run of bad luck in front of goal. He could have had a hat trick in last weeks 1-0 loss to Chivas USA only to see his efforts stymied by the goalie, goalpost or defender. A talented forward who wears his heart on his sleeve, Johnson has been feeling his recent misses. On his fourth team in his sixth MLS season, he knows that chances need to be taken, or else management will look elsewhere for someone to convert them. Others may shrug off a run of bad luck. Johnson wears it like a prickly wool sweater. He has a backer in Frings, who talks like he plays -- no nonsense and to the point. And he sees goals coming from Johnson. "He scored today in training," Frings said. "He had a good feeling. I think (Saturday) we score some goals." And Winter, the eternal optimist, believes that the next Toronto goal will open the scoring floodgates. "For sure, 100 per cent," he said. For that to happen, Toronto needs to sharpen its skills in front of goal. Toronto is tied for ninth in the league in shots (68) but stands only 17th in shots on goal (17). That may explain why it is 19th -- worst in the league -- in goals scored (2). Winter has his team practise set plays Friday, perhaps with an eye to its inability to produce off them. Toronto is tied for second in the league when it comes to corners (37). In practice Friday, Johnson was flanked by Joao Plata and Reggie Lambe with Erica Avila in the pocket. Frings quarterbacked a three-man backline featuring Adrian Cann and Richard Eckersley in front of Milos Kocic. Terry Dunfield and Julian de Guzman swapped positions in a midfield that also included youngsters Ashtone Morgan and Matt Stinson. Frings will marshall the defence but also plays a role in attack, starting the ball down the other end of the field and from his set play deliveries. "A big boost for the team," Eckersley said of the Germans return to action. "Hes our captain, hes our leader." "An important role model in our team," added Lambe. It speaks volumes about Frings that TFC has been lost without him, even when he was playing out of position when he was on the pitch. "Im a midfield player but I think its what is important for the team ... in this moment, for my opinion, its better if I play in the backline," Frings said. Frings returns one week after Cann, who had been sidelined since last May with a knee injury. "Theyre massive boosts for the team,"said Eckersley. "Its what we needed." Winter said the team missed Frings leadership as much as his "soccer qualities." Eckersley said Frings sets the tone. "I think it helps everyone around him. Hes composed on the ball. If someones composed on the ball next to you, you feel relaxed." Winter acknowledged that he didnt expect the void left by Frings absence to be as big as it was. He had hoped some of his other experience players would have soaked up their time spent with Frings on the pitch and stepped up to take up the slack. "But in the end, it wasnt like this," he said. The whole team has struggled defensively so there are plenty of people to point fingers at. But Winter looked to de Guzman and Dunfield to do the business in Fringss absence. Both have struggled, with their poor interplay leading directly to a goal in the loss in Montreal. So in Torontos marquee designated player ladder, Frings is back in and Koevermans is probably out this week. De Guzman has become a question mark. He did not get off the bench last week, rendering him one of the highest-paid spectators at BMO Field -- next to Frings, put on the bench by Winter to boost the team. De Guzman said all the right things Friday, pulling out a few cliches while calling the Chicago contest "probably the most important game of the season." Still the 31-year-old midfielder seems frustrated and confused at how he has been handled this season. Asked if he knows what his role is with the club these days, he paused and laughed. "Its to be a professional soccer player. And be available as much as possible, to continue to give it my best no matter what the case it, no matter what I get paid, no matter if Im a veteran or not. "It just comes down to being a professional soccer player. Thats my job, thats what I do. Thats what I wake up and enjoy every day of my life." He says he still enjoys the work. Sitting on the bench is clearly not part of his job vision, however. NOTES -- The Fire will be without newly re-acquired striker Chris Rolfe (ankle) ...

Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said Griffin -- who suffered a concussion last Sunday during a 24-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons -- looked "good" in practice Thursday. Shanahan says "there didnt look like there was any setback." Griffin was a limited participant in the Redskins praactice Thursday, and Shanahan says the No.dddddddddddd 2 overall pick missed only a couple plays during the session. G Griffin went through the NFLs concussion protocol and was cleared to return to Wednesdays practice. His participation Wednesday was also limited. Quarterbacks typically dont take contact during practices, so Shanahan indicated Griffin wouldnt be tested to be cleared for contact until closer to Sunday. ' ' '
