Western United’s squad is in for Sunday’s clash with local rivals Melbourne Victory.
It will be the second meeting between the two sides after United got the better of the Victory in round 4, coming from 2-0 down to win 3-2.
Apostolos Stamatelopoulos, Ivan Vujica and Jonathan Aspropotamitis have all been promoted for the Green and Black.
Meanwhile, youngster Jerry Skotadis comes out of the squad.
The Victory are searching for back-to-back wins but will be without centre-back pair Tim Hoogland and Thomas Deng.
Hoogland is recovering from a quad injury while Deng has picked up a groin injury.
