MONTREAL -- The Montreal Impact are convinced that their highest-paid player Marco Di Vaio will be on hand to finish the Major League Soccer season once he takes care of some legal business in Italy. The former Bologna star striker was back in his home country on Thursday for the second time in two months to attend hearings into a match-fixing scandal that has rocked Italian soccer to its roots. He will miss Montreals home game Saturday night against Philadelphia and is expected to return on Sunday. Rookie Andrew Wenger is to play in his spot. Di Vaio may be suspended up to six months if found guilty by a disciplinary committee of the Italian soccer federation (FIGC) for failing to report fraud in connection with a 2011 match in which Bologna lost 4-0 at home to Bari. Any suspension would likely include play in MLS. Bologna captain Daniele Portanova faces a three-year ban. The 36-year-old Di Vaio, Montreals lone designated player making US$1.9 million this season, said last week he wasnt worried because he had not done any wrong. His compatriot and Impact teammate Matteo Ferrari had his fingers crossed. "I talked with him and he said he didnt do anything, so hes very fine," said Ferrari. "But sometimes in Italy we are so strange, so I dont know whats going to happen. "I hope just nothing because we need Marco." Dozens of players from more than 20 clubs, mostly in lower divisions, have been either arrested or questioned for match fixing or failure to report wrongdoings in the second scandal to hit Italian soccer since powerhouse Juventus was punished with relegation to Serie B, Italys second division, in 2006. Impact coach Jesse Marsch said he wasnt worried for DiVaio. "I havent even thought twice about it," he said. "From everything Ive heard, its more like a deposition and less of a trial. Im not too worried about it." The timing wasnt good. Di Vaio struggled to find his rhythm in MLS and it took eight games to score his first goal in last Saturdays 3-1 victory over the visiting New York Red Bulls. The hope was once he got the first one in, the goals would come more regularly from the crafty striker. "I wouldnt describe it as frustrating, just unfortunate because in training and in games now hes really looked sharp," said Marsch. "I think hell come back and be ready to go again, but it is unfortunate for him and the group, for sure." Wenger, the first pick in the MLS SuperDraft in November, returned last week from a hamstring injury and was a late substitute against New York. The 21-year-old has three goals in 13 games. "Every time Andrew played, he played well," said Ferrari. "Hes fast, hes strong and good with both feet. He has a good chance now because Marcos not here." Getting all of the teams Italian connection on the pitch at once has proven difficult. Other than forward Bernardo Corradi, who is lost for the season with a knee injury, the New York game was the first with Di Vaio, Ferrari, former Inter Milan defender Nelson Rivas and former AC Milan great Alessandro Nesta all available. Newly signed Nesta was outstanding in his first match, while Ferrari and Rivas returned from injury. Now Marsch is looking at using a three-man back line with Nesta in the centre, Ferrari on the left and Rivas on the right. Hassoun Camara would play in an advanced right back position. Ferrari said he only played on the left side a few times in his career, although once was against Dutch star Arjen Robben. This time he wont be in a traditional left back role. "We tried to tilt it a bit so that Matteos not an outright left back," said Marsch. "Its a modified centre back position." Against New York, Nesta and Rivas started at centre back, and Ferrari reportedly was not pleased that it took until the 78th minute for him to enter the game to replace Rivas. Playing all three at once should keep the peace, although it bumps American Jeb Brovsky from the lineup. "I have to do both, defend and attack, so its a good thing," Camara said of the new set-up. "We can find some space we wouldnt have at 4-4-2. "With the great players we have behind in Nesta, Rivas and Matteo, I think we can be very good." They will need to be. The 8-13-3 Impact have only 10 regular season games left and need to pull off a winning streak to hold on to any hopes of making the playoffs. An updated salary report released Thursday by the players association showed Nesta is earning $225,000, a modest figure for the four-time Italian defender of the year. The 36-year-old said when he signed it was not for the money but to play with his old friend Di Vaio. The rest of Montreals lineup against Philadelphia should be unchanged from the game against New York, with Patrice Bernier and Collen Warner just ahead of the back line, and with midfielder Justin Mapp on the left side, Felipe Martins in the middle and Davy Arnaud on the right. The Impact will try to avenge a 2-1 defeat in Philadelphia on July 14 in which they tied the game in the 89th minute only to see the Union score two minutes into stoppage time. cheap jerseys .

Evans, a two-time Tour de France runner-up, has survived a crash-marred first week of racing which saw several contenders bow out of the race.

Unfortunately for the smiling Englishman the cup was empty. So, it seemed, was the wingers energy. Walters had been asked to play right wing at White Hart Lane in a 4-4-1-1 formation for Stoke, up against a Tottenham team that began in a 4-4-2 shape.Five NBA thoughts on a wintry Wednesday. 1. Ryan Anderson (Magic) - The team is on a roll and a big reason why is that hes been terrific as a Stretch Four for Stan Van Gundy. Hes an outstanding distance shooter and allows Dwight Howard to get lots of single coverage because you cant leave him to help or hell stick a three ball. He moves the ball effectively and rebounds well enough. Spacing is such a huge component of quality offense and having guy like Anderson is ideal to keep the floor opened up which increases the pressure on defensive coverages. 2. Leandro Barbosa (Raptors) - Hes been very effective and productive the past week and the seconnd Unit surely needed that kind of production. Hes a tough minded scorer who competes and plays with great energy. Hes in the final year of his contract. It wouldnt surprise me that some contenders reach out to President/GM Bryan Colangelo to see if they can pry him away for a stretch run. If he stays healthy and productive, hed be an asset to a team thats close. Not saying that the Raps are looking to trade him but there is no doubt that others in need of scoring punch should pick up the phone and pursue him - he can help a good team in many ways and hes got that expiring contract. Lots to play for. 3. Randy Foye (Clippers) - Ive always been a fan off his and liked what I saw from him in the absense of Chris Paul with extended minutes.dddddddddddd Has never seemed to get into the groove and become consistent and productive. Still like him and hope for his sake that he finds his niche and rhythm with the Clips. I think he can be a valuable piece for them if given consistent minutes. 4. Nicolas Batum (Blazers) - Look forward to seeing him on Friday night in Toronto versus the Raptors. I love to talk to scouts and many have said to me to keep an eye out for him. Hes improving/emerging as a player. Have caught him a few times so far on TV and hes so much more confident in his game and assertive. There will be lots of folks trying to figure out a way to pull him away from the Blazers via free agency and/or trade. Can be a good starting small forward in this league in the years ahead. 5. Kirk Hinrich (Hawks) - Remember him? Hurt right now and the Hawks have been able to handle his loss and that of Al Horford so far. Hes a dependable two-way player who does everything well yet not great. I think hes got some toughness to him and hes a winner. Keep an eye out for him - hes a guy thats under the radar right now but will be on teams free agent hit list as a guy worth a good look. Obviously, not a a star but as a good rotation player - he can do that. cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
