Melbourne Victory has named its 18-man squad for Sunday night’s Hyundai A-League semi-final.
With the team returning to Melbourne from its midweek Champions League commitments, Kevin Muscat has been forced to make the one change, with young defender Scott Galloway suffering a hamstring injury in the match against Jeonbuk in Korea.
Mark MIlligan, Gui Finkler and James Troisi remained in Melbourne and missed the midweek clash and are available for selection for Sunday’s semi-final in Brisbane.
Despite both being substituted with injuries during the club’s final match of the Champions League on Tuesday night, Jesse Makarounas and Adrian Leijer have been included in Kevin Muscat’s squad and could return to A-League action this weekend.
