Montreal Impact News Release
MONTREAL - The Montreal Impact faces its reserve team, the Trois-Rivières Attak, at Olympic Stadium, Saturday at 10:30 am. This is the team's last preseason game before its quarterfinal game of the CONCACAF Champions League, Wednesday February 25, against Mexican club Santos Laguna.
"It's great to play one last time before our important game Wednesday," said Impact head coach John Limniatis. "We will try to give playing time to every player. At this stage of our preparation, we will be working on minor tactical details."
The Montreal Impact shut out the Attak 2-0 on January 17, at the Bell Sports Complex in Brossard. Since the start of training camp, the Impact has a 6-0-2 record in eight exhibition games, of which five were played in Italy.
Note that Impact team captain Mauro Biello suffered a clavicle fracture Wednesday during an intersquad game. He will be out of the lineup for about four weeks.
