Phoenix could be without skipper Ross Aloisi for the trip to Newcastle - he has been charged with violent conduct

The depth of the Wellington Phoenix squad is sure to face a stern test this weekend if skipper Ross Aloisi is suspended by Football Federation Australia.

Aloisi has been charged with violent conduct following an incident in Friday's A-League match against the Queensland Roar and he may be suspended for this weekend's trip to Newcastle. The incident was in the second minute of the match when Aloisi appeared to elbow Queensland's Hyuk-Su Seo. The tenacious midfielder will answer the charge on Friday at Football Federation Australia headquarters in Sydney.

The Phoenix will be desperate to avoid a suspension as the club is already without Tim Brown, Jeremy Christie, Tony Lochhead, Shane Smeltz and Mark Paston who are with the All Whites for the World Cup qualifier against Fiji.
