Melbourne Heart FC plays its final match of the 2012-13 Hyundai A-League season against second-placed Central Coast Mariners at Bluetongue Stadium, Gosford, this Saturday.
Heart will miss Jonatan Germano (hamstring), captain Fred (quad) and recent injury casualty Cameron Edwards (ankle) who will, unfortunately, miss the opportunity to make his A-League debut with Heart.
Edwards featured in 11 matches for the Club’s National Youth League side, but suffered an ankle injury in training on Sunday, ruling him out of selection this weekend.
However, Heart will be bolstered by the return of Simon Colosimo after a one week suspension and Patrick Gerhardt, who returned from Africa this week after playing in a World Cup Qualifier for his country, Liberia.
