Rod’s Return!

Former favourite, Rod Fanni (37) who played his last 90 mins of soccer on 28 October last year, has answered Montreal Impact’s latest central defensive emergency.

The popular Frenchman and former Olympique Marseille defender re-joins the Impact until the end of the season.

Fanni’s inactivity since then is an obvious concern, but as Saturday evening’s emergency centre-back, Bacary Sagna argues, “Despite his age, he is athletic and has a healthy lifestyle.”

The latest centre-back crisis comes on the back of Zakaria Diallo’s departure and injuries to Victor Cabrera, Rudy Camacho and Jukka Raitala, who took one for the team, Saturday night, in blocking Toronto’s Justin Morrow, who otherwise would have been in for an almost certain goal.
