The big news for the Impact is that Clement Diop begins in goal in place of Evan Bush. It’s the Frenchman’s first MLS appearance for Montreal, and brings to an end Evan’s run of 66 consecutive MLS starts for the club.
The last goalkeeper to play for the Impact in MLS that was not Evan Bush was Maxime Crepeau, who played in the last match of the 2017 season at home to New England (L2-3). This was also Patrice Bernier’s farewell performance.
Rod Fanni comes back into defence for Rudy Camacho following his ineligibility midweek, in the Canadian Championship.
