THE IMPACT WILL PLAY AN INTER-CLUB MATCH IN BROSSARD SATURDAY
MONTREAL – The Montreal Impact will play a second inter-club match as part of training camp, Saturday at 3:30 pm at the Bell Sports Complex in Brossard. Most Impact and Trois-Rivières Attak reserve team players will play the 90-minute game.
“This match will enable us to see the team’s evolution following the three first weeks of training,” declared Impact head coach Marc Dos Santos. “It’s a match that will once again allow the team to get ready for the friendly games in Portugal, while continuing player evaluation.”
Goalkeepers Matt Jordan, Srdjan Djekanovic, Andrei Badescu, number one goalkeeper of the Attak in 2009, and Dominic Provost, from the Montreal-Concordia club and invited by the Attak, will each play 45 minutes.
Midfielder Leonardo Di Lorenzo and forward Roberto Brown, who joined the team this week, should take part in the match, as well as striker Eduardo Sebrango, who recovered from sports hernia surgery.
Midfielder David Testo and Nevio Pizzolitto are still nursing a similar injury, while forward Peter Byers will undergo surgery to his right knee today. The length of his absence is yet to be determined.
Note that entry will be free for Saturday’s match. Attendance at the last inter-club game on February 6 was more than 800 people.
