Do you know why Cassius Mailula hasn't seen any minutes? Should TFC not give him a chance up top? Something doesn't seem right. Your thoughts?
– T.T.
Last July, Toronto FC signed the 22-year-old forward to an MLS deal through 2026 with an option for 2027 following a transfer from Mamelodi Sundowns FC of South Africa's top division. TFC added Mailula to their roster under the MLS U-22 Initiative, which means his salary cap hit is only $200,000 US.
