Jul 13 USL - Montreal Impact Face Rochester Rhinos Wednesday

The Montreal Impact (5-7-2) will be looking to bounce back from their last defeat against the Thunder in Minnesota, a game that also saw its share of internal conflict with the recent team suspension of player Sandro Grande. The Impact had lost 3-0, Saturday and will be looking to regroup against the  Rhinos (7-5-3), Wednesday, in Rochester (7 pm, USLlive.com).

“We are hoping to take advantage of the circumstances since Brent Sancho, one of their most experienced defenders, as well as coach Darren Tilley, are suspended for the game," said Impact head coach Marc Dos Santos. "To do so, we will have to be organized and not lose our identity, which has been diffucult lately. Despite what might look as a negative context, we could with a win have five more points on our record compared to last year."

Holding true to his previous statement that some changes would be made to the line-up, Dos Santos has called up Central defender Elkena Mayard from the Trois Rivieres Attak as well as midfielder Ciaran O’Brien who will also join the team for the Rochester trip.

Still out of action will be Midfielder Patrick Leduc (foot) and defenders Cédric Joqueviel (thigh) and Zanzan (thigh) who are still recovering from injuries and did not make the trip.

Nevio Pizzolitto will also miss the game, after being issued a red card and an automatic one-game suspension during the match against Minnesota. 

This match is the last of three games between the two teams this season, with each team earning a win in the two previous contests.
