CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy have every reason to feel less than ideal entering Saturday’s game in Montreal against the Impact at Saputo Stadium (5 p.m., TWC SportsNet). Two reasons, actually.
Robbie Keane and Gyasi Zardes, who have combined for eight goals and five assists, are away with their respective national teams (Ireland and the United States). But head coach Bruce Arena didn’t sound overly concerned at having to move on without two of his top offensive threats.“We’re all missing players. It’s not an excuse,” he said.
Besides, the Galaxy have been getting strong performances lately from the likes of Giovani Dos Santos (five goals and five assists, both team highs) and Steven Gerrard, who has come on strong after recovering from a strained calf.
