Melbourne Heart FC’s new signing Jamie Coyne joined his teammates for his first training session with the Red and White today, while Dylan Macallister has proven his fitness to face Perth Glory, shaking an adductor complaint.
Both players are likely to be available for selection, with Sam Mitchinson and Josip Tadic sidelined through injury this week.
Jason Hoffman will return from suspension after he served a one-match ban after accumulating five cautions, while Head Coach John Aloisi may call on one of his younger stars, including Benjamin Garuccio, Stefan Mauk, Ersin Kaya or Paolo Retre to play a roll against Perth.
