Western United ALM Squad: Round 20 vs Melbourne Victory

John Aloisi’s 20-man extended squad is in for Western United’s Isuzu UTE A-League Men grudge match against Melbourne Victory on Monday night.

The Green and Black will be out to make it four wins in a row against Victory in all competitions but will be without James Troisi in its attempt to do so.

The attacking midfielder was substituted in the first-half of United’s 2-1 win against Perth Glory last week with a hamstring injury and will spend a brief spell on the sidelines as a result.

Jacob Tratt, Adisu Bayew and Sebastian Pasquali have all come back into the extended squad and will be vying for a place among the 18 on matchday.

Jamie Young is set to make his 50^th league appearance for the Green and Black, becoming the quickest player to do so for the Club having played every Isuzu UTE A-League match since signing at the beginning of last season.

Aloisi could give increased minutes to Steven Lustica after he made his return from injury last week, while Nikolai Topor-Stanley is available again having been named on the bench against Perth.\
