Hey, some good news for Sunday's game: 

Wanderer's win over City in the Y-League final on the weekend had a silver lining for the Nix - well-performing young centre-back Jonathan Aspropotamitis now out for the season after sustaining a bad injury in the final:

 "...leaving coach Josep Gombau with just two first-choice centre backs for the remainder of this A-League campaign. In the wake of the departure for Malaysia of erstwhile captain Robbie Cornthwaite, Gombau has only Michael Thwaite and Brendon Hamill and it’s understood the club will seek to sign a temporary replacement for Aspropotamitis as cover for Thwaite and Hamill.

Gombau has already been forced to use left back Jack Clisby as an emergency centre back when Aspropotamitis was away with the Olyroos, but the only players free to sign now that the transfer window has closed are those who were already free agents."

The youth team captain is also not an option as he's out injured and Aspropotamitis was filling in for him in the final.

Coach Gombau and Oriel Riera also had a falling-out early in last weekend's A-League match vs. Mariners:

"Gombau had an open argument with striker Oriol Riera over the marquee man’s tactical positioning, and Gombau had to be talked out of substituting him in the first quarter hour...."
