Impact Saint-Maximin has resolved his visa issues and joined Charlotte's training sessions, and it's now a matter of regaining match fitness before the star signing can appear in game action.

The full extent of Toffolo's issue remains unclear, so whether he returns to activity during the Leagues Cup window or later in the MLS campaign will depend on his progress. However, considering he's a first-unit player and the fact that he already dealt with a moderate muscle injury this season, he could be reserved for the more important games heading into the decisive stages of the season.
