Is Zac Herold with the team? Will he be playing this year?

According to this post on Big Soccer, he has some kind of health problems. This is not verified however.

Zac Herold is listed as uniform player number 5 on the Matchday Programme, therefore, I highly dought the post on Big Soccer concerning his health problems. He is only 17, perhaps he can't play until he's 18 or he's fininshing off the school year.

He does have some kind of health problem, like a major one as in, he may be done soccer for good.

Spare a thought today for #TFC (http://twitter.com/search?q=%23TFC) draft pick Zach Herold. Forced to retire before his career even began due to a heart problem. Gutted for him.

Zac Herald retires from soccer. Horrible news. He's incredibly lucky to be alive and is surrounded by very supportive people.
