Mangione joins the first team roster for the second time this season, having been named to the squad for the Concacaf Champions Cup Round One, leg one match in Tegucigalpa, Honduras against FC Motagua.
Mboma Dem joined the first team roster and came on as a second-half substitute in Wednesday’s second leg match against Motagua. He is available for the match via the same short-term agreement that was announced on Wednesday.
