The Montreal Impact announced on Thursday that five Canadian players from the 2011 roster have been invited to the team's first MLS training camp, in hopes of earning a contract for the 2012 season.
Defenders Nevio Pizzolitto and Simon Gatti, as well as forwards Eduardo Sebrango, Reda Agourram and Mircea Ilcu, have been invited by Impact head coach Jesse Marsch to join the team on the first leg of its training camp in Guadalajara, Mexico, from January 18 to 29.
"Each of these players has different qualities that we think can be successful at the next level," said Marsch. "We are interested to see how they could fit into our plans for next year."
