After a less-than-impressive showing at training camp, Ecuadorean centre back Geovanny Caicedo has been cut loose by Toronto FC.

Now, after Toronto played just its second preseason game — a 2-2 draw against third-division side Orlando City at the Walt Disney World Classic — there will be those who wonder if the lack of preseason game action will help or hurt TFC long-term.

“I didn’t want to go back to Burnley and be part of that frustrating situation again where I’m sitting on the bench or sitting in the stands where I’m not appreciated for my ability. So it’s good and we got a good team now. I’m looking at the future, I’m not looking back.”
