Melbourne Victory gets the chance to win its first piece of Men’s silverware since the 2018 A-League Grand Final on Saturday night when they face the Central Coast Mariners at AAMI Park.
Rai Marchan remains out after undergoing surgery following a head collision against Sydney FC on Australia Day eve.
A number of senior players have returned over the last fortnight, including Chris Ikonomidis, who came off the bench to assist Nick D’Agostino’s second goal in the Semi Final victory.
Two players in Victory’s squad, Jason Geria and Leigh Broxham, started in the Club’s 2015 FFA Cup triumph over Perth.
On the Women’s side, Matildas duo Kyra Cooney-Cross and Courtney Nevin will miss Friday night’s clash with Wellington as they return from Asian Cup duties. The pair are a good chance to return next week.
Alex Chidiac, Tiff Eliadis and Casey Dumont all returned last game.
