Impact Baldanzi is back with the team Monday after overcoming a small injury he picked up over the international break, making his return in the starting XI.

Impact Baldanzi started seven of Monza's first eight matches but has only started one of the past 14 as he has dealt with ankle and thigh injuries. Three shots across his last two appearances bode well after none in the previous four and he appears to be finding his pre-injury form.

He has scored once and added six shots (three on target), three key passes, and four crosses (two accurate) in his last four appearances.
