MONTREAL - FC Dallas heads north of the border tonight for a meeting with the Montreal Impact, looking for their first win in Quebec. Let’s take a look at the lineup Oscar Pareja has dressed for the occasion:
Shuffle
It’s back to a 4-4-2 for FC Dallas with Cristian Colman and Maxi Urruti starting up top together for the first time since April 14. Walker Zimmerman finds himself on the bench as Atiba Harris and newly-rejoined Maynor Figueroa start in the middle of the back line with Ryan Hollingshead and Hernan Grana on their flanks. Chris Seitz makes his first MLS start since May 25 with Jesse Gonzalez in Arlington tonight with the U.S. Men’s National Team.
No Mauro
Mauro Diaz will not be in and FCD 18-man roster for the first time since returning from his Achilles’ tear in late May. The Magician felt tightness in his groin during the club’s last training session of the week in Dallas and was held back from traveling for precautionary reasons. He’s expected to be back available next week vs. Vancouver.
Bench Notes
Jimmy Maurer makes his first appearance on the FC Dallas bench after being acquired on loan from the New York Cosmos (NASL) on Friday and Jesus Ferreira returns to MLS action after spending last week with the FCD U-16 Academy team in their quest for a National Championship that fell one game short.
