A quick turnaround awaits Melbourne City as we prepare to return to AAMI Park for a midweek clash against Newcastle Jets on Wednesday night.
City will be aiming to extend a brilliant run of home form, having won each of our last five games without conceding a single goal.
However, it won’t come easy against a Jets side enjoying their best form of the season, currently unbeaten in their last six outings.
With a bye, international break, and an away trip to Sydney on the horizon, Aurelio Vidmar’s squad will be eager to make the most of this final home fixture before the break.
The City Head Coach has now confirmed his extended squad for Wednesday night’s clash, with a handful of changes from the weekend.
Germán Ferreyra has been ruled out of tomorrow’s fixture after suffering a concussion following a late tackle in the final moments of Friday night’s win over Macarthur.
In his absence, a trio of young talents—Zane Schreiber, Harry Shillington, and Medin Memeti—have been promoted to the extended squad.
Memeti is particularly notable, as he is in line for his first club minutes since mid-January.
The talented young striker was recently part of the Young Socceroos squad that lifted the AFC U20 Asian Cup and could make his long-awaited return in City colours on Wednesday night.
