“Jon Conway is suspended and we have talked about giving Stefan some time off,” said Dasovic after training at BMO Field on Thursday. “Milos deserves his chance. He has been with us the whole season and has worked hard.”
“He has played with Serbian White Eagles in the Canadian Soccer League and those games helped to keep him going. We are going to give him a game on Saturday. It is his old club so it is a nice game for him to play and hopefully he can get one over on them.”
Youngsters Nicholas Lindsay and Doneil Henry could also feature in the match, although Dasovic is pledging to field his strongest possible team. “We will put a strong line-up out there and if they don’t start we will definitely introduce some of the younger guys off the bench, but we want to finish with three points,” he said.
“We have talked about ending off on a positive note. The guys have been bubbly in training and are happy and motivated.”
Martin Saric, Chad Barrett and Adrian Cann are still sidelined with injury but Nana Attakora has recovered from the blow to the head sustained in the 1-0 win over Arabe Unido in the CONCACAF Champions League on Tuesday.
