It hasn’t been a banner season for Marky Delgado. After a 2017 campaign that was the best of his career, things just haven’t quite gone the 23-year-olds ways this year.
There was the miss. Then there were injuries. Through all of it Jonathan Osorio, the player he largely beat out for minutes last season, has been impossible to take out of the lineup. If Delgado started all thirteen remaining games he still wouldn’t surpass his 2017 starts total.
Saturday against the Chicago Fire, however, was a distinct reminder of why Delgado is such an important piece of the Toronto FC puzzle.
