Tony Popovic has named his squad for Saturday’s Sydney Derby at ANZ Stadium.
Tickets to the match are still available here.
There are three additions, with Ryan Griffiths, Steven Lustica and Shannon Cole all being promoted.
The Red & Black will be without skipper Dimas after he picked up his eighth yellow card of the season last week’s match against the Mariners.
The last meeting between the two sides came just last month in Round 15, where a tense 0-0 affair was played out at Allianz Stadium.
The Wanderers will be hell-bent on breaking the Sky Blues’ undefeated streak and cementing themselves in the top six.
Following Saturday’s Derby, the Wanderers’ attention will quickly turn to the Asian Champions League, as they kick-off their 2017 campaign on Tuesday night against Urawa Red Diamonds at Campbelltown Stadium.
