The Montreal Impact’s depth will be put to the best Saturday night when the Los Angeles Galaxy visits Saputo Stadium.

Injuries and national team call-ups have left the Impact short-handed, particularly in the back four.

Belgium called up Laurent Ciman for the coming Euro 2016 tournament, while Ambroise Oyongo will join Cameroon for a pair of African Cup qualifying games.

“It’s a great opportunity for Laurent to play in the Euro, but it does leave us short and we have to ask some other players to step up,” said coach Mauro Biello.

The Impact was a bit surprised by the Ciman call-up, which came while the team was digesting a disappointing 2-1 loss in Orlando Saturday. The MLS defender of the year in 2015 was left off the original Belgian selection list, but was added at the last minute. He could be gone until July 10 if Belgium plays up to its No. 2 ranking in the FIFA world list.

In addition to the call-ups, the Impact is dealing with injuries in the back line. The team isn’t rushing Donny Toia back from a hamstring injury and he is about two weeks away from playing.
