Thomas Gillier - Concedes five goals Gillier had two saves and allowed five goals in Saturday's 5-0 defeat against San Diego FC.

Impact Gillier made two saves while conceding five goals in Saturday's loss to San Diego FC, a rough way to begin the new season, though the red card to Tomas Aviles early in the second half proved costly. The goalkeeper will look to bounce back in Saturday's matchup against the Chicago Fire, an attack-minded side that scored 71 goals last season.

Tomas Aviles - Sent off in opener Aviles picked up a red card in the 50th minute of Saturday's clash against San Diego FC.

Impact Aviles had a card changed by VAR review after a foul that marked the end of a poor performance for him. The resulting suspension leaves him out of the upcoming game against Chicago Fire, with his next chance to bounce back coming in a March 8 visit to New York Red Bulls. All of Efrain Morales, Brayan Vera and perhaps Jalen Neal may get extended playing time while Aviles is unavailable.

Ivan Jaime - On bench Saturday Jaime (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's contest versus San Diego.

Impact Jaime dealt with a physical issue during the preseason but recovered in time to be an option in the opening weekend. However, he'll initially play as a substitute with Dagur Dan Thorhallsson apparently deployed on the left wing. The Spaniard will look see his role gradually increased in upcoming weeks and could also take set pieces whenever he's on the pitch.

Luca Petrasso - Should be available Petrasso (chest) should be available for Saturday's season opener against San Diego, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Petrasso ran into a setback after failing cardiac tests during the preseason, but he's trending in the right direction and is expected to be available for Saturday's season opener against San Diego after avoiding the MLS injury report. That's a major boost for Montreal, as he's the unquestioned starter at left-back and a steady presence on that flank. All signs point to him locking down the same high-minute role as the club kicks off the 2026 MLS campaign.

Impact Jaime could be healthy at least to play a bench role in the 2026 MLS season opener against San Diego on Feb. 21. The winger has recovered well from his injury after spending some weeks rehabbing in Spain. As soon as he's ready to feature again, he could give Montreal a playmaking boost while challenging Fabian Herbers (ankle) and Wikelman Carmona on the left flank.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Wikelman Carmona - Dealt to Montreal Carmona has been traded to Montreal from the New York Red Bulls, according to his new club.

Impact Carmona is on the move right ahead of the start of the season, as the midfielder is going North to Canada to join Montreal. This comes after five years with the club, last season recording 21 starts in 34 appearances while recording one assist. That said, a starting role on the right is open for the club currently, with Carmona likely to settle into that role after Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty was the other piece of the trade.

Luca Petrasso - Training individually Petrasso (chest) has failed the cardiac exams during pre-season and is training apart, according to Maxime Truman from DansLesCoulisses.

Impact Petrasso isn't training with the rest of his teammates after failing his pre season cardiac tests and has been working on the side this week. It remains to be seen how serious the issue is for the defender, as he was an undisputed starter for Montreal last season and is expected to fill a similar role heading into the 2026 MLS season.

FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Fabian Herbers - Dealing with ankle injury Herbers is dealing with an ankle injury during the pre-season of Montreal and is currently training on the side, according to Maxime Truman from DansLesCoulisses.

Impact Herbers has not been training with the rest of the squad in recent days during pre-season as he is currently dealing with an ankle injury. The winger will aim to be ready in time for the start of the 2026 MLS season, though a potential absence from the German is unlikely to significantly affect the starting squad, as he is expected to operate in a rotational role once again this year.

Impact Piette was able to get minutes in preseason Friday after undergoing ear surgery late last season. He is expected to be ready for the start of the season as a contender to start, given he stays healthy as he has a track record of inconsistency and injury the last few campaigns.

Tomas Aviles - Acquired by Montreal on loan Aviles has completed a move to Montreal on loan from Inter Miami through the 2026 season, his new team announced Friday.

Impact Aviles finished with two goals over 27 matches played (15 starts) for Miami last season while making a few defensive contributions in a center-back role. However, he struggled to play full games, which he'll try to do in Montreal if he can eventually be favored over Brayan Vera or Brandan Craig.

Efrain Morales - Returns in friendly Morales (lower body) is in the starting XI of Friday's friendly against FC Slovan Liberec during pre-season, the club posted.

Impact Morales has cleared his lower body injury over the break and is in the starting squad during Friday's pre-season friendly against FC Slovan Liberec. The defender didn't play much in the last three seasons in the MLS and it remains to be seen what role he will have with Montreal heading into the 2026 MLS season.
