Prince Osei Owusu netted in CF Montreal’s 2-2 draw with LA Galaxy in their previous outing and, according to the source, has 13 goals and six assists in Major League Soccer this season; the article states he is 29 years old and will be expected to lead Montreal’s attack.

Injury absences listed for Inter Miami are Micael, Santiago Morales and Mateo Silvetti. CF Montreal will miss Bode Hidalgo and Wiki Carmona, while Efrain Morales, Frankie Amaya and Josh-Duc Nteziryayo are described as doubtful due to fitness issues.
