The Wanderers enter the weekend following the exciting news that 2021 CPL MVP João Morelli has been cleared to return to the squad following a knee injury.

Four players have found the back of the net in 2023. Zachary Fernandez and Theo Collomb have scored twice, while Massimo Ferrin and Aidan Daniels each have one goal in league play.

Following today's match, the Wanderers continue the homestand by hosting Cavalry FC on Saturday, June 17.
