The Impact are looking forward to unveiling their newest weapon.

Marco Di Vaio is finally eligible to play in MLS and the 35-year-old Italian forward is expected to make his debut at home
tomorrow night against Toronto FC (1-10-2).

Di Vaio says he has worked hard over the last week and is excited to play tomorrow night.

The timing works out well for the Impact (5-8-3).  Fellow Italian striker Bernardo Corradi is out after injuring his
knee in training.  Montreal is also without Italian defender Matteo Ferrari and there are injury question marks around forward Andrew Wenger and defender Nelson Rivas.

Impact head coach Jesse Marsch says it's going to take a little time for him to settle in with the team, but adds, you can see that he fits in well. "We're all excited to get him on the field tomorrow," added Marsch.

Toronto FC, under new coach Paul Mariner, is looking to put behind it two games in which it has taken the lead only to give it
back.
