Ricci was signed by Montreal Impact on a short-term loan from USL affiliate Ottawa Fury via the Extreme Hardship Rule.
ANALYSIS Ricci got the call-up to the big leagues because Montreal was left with less than 14 senior outfield players thanks to the Gold Cup and injuries, which allows them to activate the Extreme Hardship Rule. While Ricci might get the chance to play, the club are more likely to only use him if more losses are incurred during the coming month.
