Team Status
The Montreal Impact, 3-1-1 in preseason, enter the 2018 MLS Campaign already in deep water as they have three major injuries to contend with. The most devastating injury is to their newest designated player, center back Zakaria Diallo. Diallo is sidelined for an estimated six months with a blown Achilles tendon. For a team already thin at CB due to the injury to Kyle Fisher (season ending surgery to repair a stress fracture in his left tibia) the loss of Diallo for the better part of the season will be a major setback.
