Even in triumph it seems, Montreal Impact cannot cut a break.
Fresh on the heels of their thrilling 3-2 success over DC United last evening, which guaranteed play-off football for the first time in four years, comes the news of Victor Wanyama’s call-up by the Kenyan national team.
The Harambee Stars have two African Nations’ Cup qualifiers, a double-header against Comoros, the tiny island nation that tops Group G, after a surprise win in Togo and draw at home to Egypt.
The games take place on the 11th and 15th November and effectively rule out Wanyama’s chances of playing against New England.
