The Central Coast Mariners have made two changes to the matchday squad for Sunday’s Hyundai A-League round seven meeting with Western United.
Midfielder Milan Ðurić is back in after he was omitted from the squad with a hip injury, passing a fitness on Saturday that ensured he will be a chance to take on the league newcomers on Sunday afternoon.
Mikey McGlinchey is also back after returning from international duty with the All Whites, and the two midfielders will replace Mario Shabow and new signing Jair in the preliminary group.
Head Coach Alen Stajcic alluded to Jair not yet being at 100% during Friday’s media, meaning that the Central Coast faithful will have to wait to see their new Brazilian signing in the flesh.
Shabow played 90 minutes in the Mariners 3-3 Foxtel Y-League draw with Sydney FC on Saturday morning, providing an assist for Alou Kuol’s second goal during the first half.
