Inter Miami's injury list has six names on it: this week, Jordi Alba (DF) and Robbie Robinson (FW) joined Ian Fray (DF), Benjamin Cremaschi (MF), Franco Negri (DF) and Facundo Farias (MF). On the bright side, there is a chance that Jordi Alba will recover before the game.
Montreal: Current form and team news
The start of the season has been great for the Canadian outfit. Experts weren't expecting them to get points against Orlando and Dallas but L'Impact managed to silence the sceptics, having gained four points out of those two fixtures (0-0 vs Orlando, 2-1 vs Dallas).
One of those two goals was scored by Josef Martinez. Now, the Venezuelan will try to score against his former side.
A few players won't be available for selection on Monday: attacker Mahala Opoku is set to miss the clash, while Matias Coccaro (FW), Dominic Iankov (MF) and Joaquin Sosa (DF) are all doubts for the game.
