Key defender Scott Neville has been included in Robbie Fowler’s extended 20-man squad for Sunday’s trip south to face Western United in Ballarat.
Neville returns to the squad following a one-week suspension which saw his miss last week’s victory against Adelaide United.
The experienced defender is one of four players promoted to the squad alongside young defenders Aaron Reardon & Kai Trewin, as well as attacker Jai Ingham.
18-year-old Izaack Powell is unavailable for the contest through international duty, while Scott McDonald will also not make the trip to Ballarat.
