Melbourne Victory Men

Bruno Fornaroli returns to Tony Popovic’s extended squad ahead of Saturday’s clash against Macarthur.

The 36-year-old is in line to make his first appearance since Round 10 and will no doubt be looking to continue his incredible form that has seen him top the Golden Boot race.

Midfielder Roly Bonevacia returns to the A-League but this time will wear blue.

The 32-year-old joins Victory from Kuwaiti side Al-Tadamon where he spent the last four seasons playing throughout the Middle East.

Although not named, Bonevacia may still feature on Saturday pending international clearance.
