The Alexis Sánchez era is nearly underway in Major League Soccer, but fans likely won’t get a chance to see the former Barcelona and Arsenal star in action on Saturday, CF Montréal’s first game with him officially on the team roster.
Sánchez is scheduled to arrive in Montréal on Friday afternoon and is, thus, more likely to be in the stands for his new club’s matchup against the New England Revolution on Saturday night than on the field. His debut is expected on Wednesday, Aug. 19, in an away fixture against the Columbus Crew.
