Sydney FC coach Vitezslav Lavicka has admitted frustration with their recruitment ahead of the Asian Champions League.
Lavicka feels they've been left short following the retirement of central defender Hayden Foxe and attacking midfielder Alex Brosque's departure for Japanese club Shimizu S-Pulse.
He said: "I don't like to complain but of course we are missing Hayden Foxe and Alex Brosque, who in my opinion was one of the best attacking players in the A-League.
"However, Andrew Durante and David Williams are ready, they played part of the warm-up game on Wednesday and they are happy to be joining us for the ACL.''
