Melbourne Heart FC-s Rutger Worm has completed a swift return from injury after earning a call-up for the Club-s match against Gold Coast United today.
The Dutchman missed Heart-s previous two encounters with Wellington Phoenix and Sydney FC after picking up an adductor strain during the Club-s wrenching 2-1 loss to Brisbane Roar at AAMI Park.
But after a quicker than expected recovery, Worm is poised to take his place on the bench for this evening-s encounter, bolstering a squad set back by the loss of Josip Skoko and Wayne Srhoj through injury and suspension respectively.
Vice-Captain Matt Thompson will also make his return to the Heart squad after serving a one-match ban, while youngster Kliment Taseski has been called up as well.
